Terrigal Dental recommends the placement of fissure sealants for children with adult teeth that have very deep and narrow grooves.
When children learn to clean their teeth, there usually are many areas they tend to miss – such as the back teeth (molars). These teeth have natural grooves where bacteria from food residue can get stuck and cause tooth decay over time. Placing a fissure sealant is one of the best ways to prevent that.
Dental pit and fissure sealants are hard, protective coatings that cover and protect the deep grooves and allow for effective cleaning with a toothbrush, thereby reducing your child’s decay risk. Terrigal Dental recommends placing fissure sealants for children with adult teeth with very deep and narrow grooves. Fissure sealants can be placed for adults as well, in any teeth that have deep or narrow grooves.
We provide extensive orthodontics, cosmetic, and general dental care services for the Terrigal and Central Coast communities.
