What if my children are scared of the dentist?

​

It's not uncommon for children to be a little hesitant when visiting the dentist. But one of the best things that parents can do to avoid this issue and make their children more comfortable is to schedule regular visits early on in your child's life. This familiarity ensures your child will come to think positively of the dentist.

Fissure Sealant 

Protect your teeth from decay and plaque. 

​

What is a fissure sealant? 

​

A fissure sealant fills grooves, pits, and cracks in your tooth to keep decay and plaque at bay. The procedure is simply to apply, quick, and pain-free. The material is comprised of clear or white resin to better blend in with the colour of your teeth. 

​

When do you need a fissure sealant? 

​

Fissure sealants are required when grooves develop within your tooth. These fissures occur naturally on some of the teeth. These spaces can easily become filled with bacteria and food. Since these grooves are tough to clean efficiently, tooth decay can occur.

 

Ideally, a fissure sealant is applied within a year of a tooth eruption to keep harmful bacteria away. Many children and teenagers receive fissure sealants because decay can occur the minute the back teeth are fully grown. Still, some adults will require the procedure too. 

​

How long do fissure sealants last? 

​

Although it varies between individuals, fissure sealants can last multiple years before becoming worn down. However, routine checkups with the experts at Premier Dental Group in Roxburgh Park can help prolong the lifespan of your sealants.
