Fissure Sealants

Fissure sealants are a thin coating of restorative material that is applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of newly erupted back teeth. This procedure does not destroy or remove any tooth structure. It is a simple way to protect your children’s teeth from decay by keeping food particles from wedging into the small narrow grooves of natural teeth. A sealant can last for 5 to 10 years, we check them at regular dental appointments to ensure they are in place and topped up if needed.
