Fissure sealants are protective materials applied to the deep, narrow grooves (fissures) found on the chewing surfaces of teeth, commonly used for children and adolescents. These grooves can easily trap food particles and bacteria, which can lead to cavities.
Fissure sealants help prevent tooth decay by sealing these grooves. They provide significant protection for teeth, especially molars, which have large chewing surfaces and are more prone to decay.

How Are Fissure Sealants Applied?
The application of fissure sealants is a simple yet effective procedure. At A1 Dent, we safely and efficiently perform this treatment for our young patients. The steps are as follows:
- Tooth Cleaning: The dentist cleans the tooth, removing bacteria and food particles from the surface.
- Sealant Application: A special sealant material is applied to the cleaned surface of the tooth, covering the grooves.
- Hardening: The applied sealant is hardened using a special light device, making it durable for chewing.
- Final Check: After the procedure, the dentist performs a final check to ensure the sealant is applied properly.
Advantages of Fissure Sealants
- Prevents Tooth Decay: Fissure sealants prevent the accumulation of food particles and bacteria on the tooth surface, protecting areas where cavities most commonly occur, especially in children and adolescents.
- Painless and Quick: The application is painless and completed in a short time. It doesn’t require local anesthesia, making it a comfortable treatment, particularly for children.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Fissure sealants can protect teeth for years. Their condition can be monitored during regular dental check-ups and reapplied if necessary.
- Aesthetic and Natural: The sealants match the natural color and appearance of the tooth, ensuring an invisible and aesthetically pleasing result.
