Fissure sealants are a thin coating applied to tooth grooves.  They are a preventative measure against tooth decay that are particularly effective in children and adolescents as they work by blocking food and bacteria from getting trapped. The Australian Dental Association recommends their use for preventing decay and caries

At Mendelsohn Dental on Royal we might advise you or your child to have fissure sealants if you have large grooves or pits in your teeth. This is because it can be difficult to remove food and plaque bacteria from deep fissures by brushing your teeth. 

The procedure of applying Sealants is quick and easy and does not require any needles or drilling.

Key Points

• Fissure sealants are put over grooves on the surfaces of your teeth.
• The fissure sealant blocks food and bacteria sticking in deep grooves. 
• It is a common treatment for children and teenagers.
• The fissure sealant is usually white or clear and can include fluoride.
