Fissure Sealants in Bentleigh East

Fissure sealants are a preventive treatment used to protect the deep grooves of back teeth, where food and bacteria can be harder to clean away. They are commonly recommended for children and teenagers, though some adults may also benefit depending on the shape and condition of their teeth.

Tooth Fissure Sealants

Teeth naturally have fissures and grooves in them. Some of these fissures can be deeper than others, and food particles can get trapped inside which will eventually lead to dental decay. Because of the anatomy of these fissures, it is difficult to clean them out completely.

A good way to prevent fissure cavities is to place a fissure sealant over these grooves to prevent food particles from entering and getting stuck within the fissures.
