Dental Fissure Sealants

Dental fissure sealants are a preventive treatment designed to protect your teeth from cavities and decay. These sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars) where pits and grooves can easily trap food and bacteria. By filling these deep grooves, fissure sealants create a smooth surface that prevents plaque buildup, significantly reducing the risk of decay.

At My Dentist Drouin, we offer dental fissure sealants as part of our preventive care services to help you maintain a healthy, cavity-free smile. Whether you're seeking to protect your child's teeth or want to safeguard your own, our team is here to provide you with the best dental care using the latest techniques and materials.

Dental Pit and Fissure Sealants

Dental pit and fissure sealants are applied to the grooves and pits of the back teeth where food and bacteria tend to accumulate. These areas are particularly vulnerable to decay, as regular brushing can be insufficient to clean deep grooves effectively. Dental pit and fissure sealants act as a barrier, sealing these vulnerable areas and preventing plaque and food particles from settling in.

The process of applying fissure sealants teeth is quick, non-invasive, and pain-free, making it an excellent preventive treatment for both children and adults. At My Dentist Drouin, we use high-quality materials to ensure that your fissure sealants teeth stay durable and effective for years.

Understanding Our Process

The application of dental fissure sealants is a simple and straightforward procedure that typically takes only a few minutes per tooth. Here’s an overview of the process:

  • Examination and Cleaning: During your appointment, our dentist will first examine your teeth to determine if dental pit and fissure sealants are needed. The teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any food particles, plaque, or bacteria.
  • Preparation: The chewing surfaces of your teeth will be prepared by applying a special gel that slightly roughens the surface, allowing the sealant to bond securely. This step ensures the sealant adheres effectively to the tooth.
  • Application: The fissure sealant material, typically a tooth-coloured resin, is applied to the grooves and pits of the tooth. The sealant is then hardened using a special curing light, which ensures that it remains in place and provides long-lasting protection.
  • Final Check: Once the sealant has hardened, your dentist will check the bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort. The procedure is complete, and you can return to your regular activities right away.

This procedure is entirely painless and non-invasive, making it ideal for children and adults alike. The treatment can be done during a routine visit, and there is no need for local anaesthesia or drilling.
