Dental Sealants

What Are Dental (Fissure) Sealants?
Almost 90% of tooth decay starts in the fissures (grooves on the tooth surface) on our teeth. The problem with these fissures or grooves is that they are often very narrow and deep and brushing them is not effective in removing all the plaque to create a clean plaque-free surface.

The plaque lies happily in these deep fissures carrying on with the decay process. The fissure soon starts to appear dark and eventually a small cavity will form. Dental sealant act as a 'glue' that seals the fissure areas to avoid plaque from entering these crevices and thus protecting the surface against tooth decay!

Dental Sealant Indications:
Sealants are placed as soon as the eruption of our back teeth happens. Children's teeth are mostly indicated, but any patient's teeth that have deep fissures and crevices on the biting surface where plaque can hide from brushing, can benefit. Medium-to-high caries risk patients almost always have to have their teeth sealed to eliminate all the hiding places where plaque bacteria colonized.

"Do not underestimate the effectiveness
of this preventative treatment!

Insist on having all your
child's back teeth sealed."

Dental Sealant Procedure:
No local anesthetic is needed and the procedure is painless. The tooth is polished with water and pumice and an acid etch is placed. The acid is washed off and the sealant that looks like white glue, gets put into these crevices to close them up. A smooth surface is left that prevents any plaque bacteria from entering the tooth.
