What is Fissure Sealant Treatment?

Fissure sealant is a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay. The deep grooves in molars and premolars can trap food particles, making them difficult to clean. This treatment provides a smooth surface that reduces the risk of cavities.

How It Works:

A thin layer of dental fissure sealant is applied to the tooth surface.
The sealant bonds with the enamel and is hardened using a special curing light.
This creates a protective barrier that shields teeth from bacteria and acids.
