Protect Your Teeth with Fissure Sealants

Worried about cavities forming in hard-to-reach areas? Fissure sealants provide a simple yet highly effective way to protect your teeth from decay. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the grooves of your back teeth, creating a barrier against bacteria and food particles.

At Smile Dental Care, our dental team uses high-quality, tooth-coloured materials to ensure a natural look and strong protection. It’s a quick, painless treatment ideal for both children and adults who want to keep their teeth healthy for years to come.

About Fissure Sealants: Simple Protection for Healthy Teeth

Fissure sealants are a preventative dental treatment designed to reduce the risk of decay in molars and premolars. Deep grooves on these teeth can trap food and plaque, making them difficult to clean with brushing alone. A sealant acts like a shield, sealing off these grooves to prevent cavities. At Smile Dental Care, the procedure is quick and painless and usually completed in one visit. Our dental team will clean and prepare the tooth, apply the sealant, and harden it using a special light. The result is long-lasting protection that keeps your teeth healthier for longer.
