A simple step to protect growing smiles.
Even with excellent brushing habits, the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth can be tricky to clean. These grooves—known as fissures—can trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
Fissure sealants offer a safe, painless way to protect these vulnerable areas. We apply a thin, tooth-coloured coating that seals the grooves, making them easier to clean and helping prevent cavities before they start.
Why choose fissure sealants?
- Preventative protection for molars and premolars
- Ideal for children and teens as adult teeth come through
- Quick and comfortable—no drilling required
- Long-lasting results with regular dental check-ups
Sealants are most effective when applied early, but they can benefit adults too—especially those with deep grooves or a history of decay. During your visit, we’ll assess whether sealants are right for you or your child and talk you through the process.
