Pit and Fissure Sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars from cavities and decay. These surfaces often have deep grooves and fissures that can be challenging to clean thoroughly with regular brushing, making them susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria.









The sealant material is a thin, protective coating typically made of resin or glass ionomer. The application process is quick, painless, and non-invasive:

Pit and Fissure Sealants act as a barrier, preventing food particles, bacteria, and acids from settling into the grooves of the teeth and causing decay. They are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, as the application is often done shortly after the eruption of permanent molars.

While sealants provide effective protection, they are not a substitute for regular oral hygiene practices. Maintaining good oral habits, including proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, remains crucial for overall oral health.

Sealants are a cost-effective and minimally invasive way to prevent cavities in vulnerable areas of the teeth, offering an additional layer of defense against dental decay. Regular monitoring by dental professionals ensures the longevity and effectiveness of sealants over time.
