Why Do I Need Fissure Sealants?
Some teeth will naturally have pits, groves or crevices that create an area that traps plaque and is at higher risk than usual of forming a hole in the tooth. If an area such as this is evident, then your dentist may recommend a fissure sealant. This is a process to seal or cover the defect in the tooth so that it is less likely to trap plaque and food debris and reduce the risk of developing a hole in the area. Fissure sealants are a simple process that requires the tooth to be cleaned or lightly prepared before applying the preventative sealant onto the tooth surface.
