Sealants

If you have the start of decay or even a microscopic crack starting to appear, a sealant is often the first treatment we recommend.

Fissure sealants are thin, often plastic coatings that fill fissures and protect teeth from dental plaque and acids. This treatment can be almost painless and is non-invasive.

Fissures are the pits and grooves that naturally occur on the chewing surfaces of teeth. If the fissures are very deep and narrow, even regular brushing can allow food particles and bacteria to remain behind.

Many studies have shown that fissure sealants are effective in reducing the occurrence of tooth decay and if detected very early, tooth decay can sometimes be treated with a fissure sealant instead of fillings. Fissure sealants gradually wear away after several years and can be re-applied if needed.
