Pit & Fissure Sealant

Pit and fissure sealants are a highly effective preventive dental treatment that can help stop cavities and tooth decay. Typically, sealants are applied to the permanent molars, but they can also be used on other teeth. During the procedure, your dentist will first clean your teeth and then apply an acidic solution to the grooves. This solution helps the sealant adhere better to the tooth surface. Then, the sealant is applied and hardened with a special light.

Sealants act as a barrier between the tooth surface and bacteria, food particles, and acids. By preventing these harmful substances from reaching the tooth, sealants can help prevent cavities and tooth decay. With proper care and maintenance, sealants can last up to 10 years. They are easy to apply and are a simple, painless procedure. If you’re looking for a way to help protect your teeth from cavities and tooth decay, talk to your dentist about whether sealants are right for you. They can provide long-lasting protection for your teeth and help you maintain good oral health.
