Fissure Sealants

The flat chewing surfaces of the teeth at the back of our mouth aren't actually all that flat. They're full of little dents called 'fissures.' This makes it easier for decay to set in.

If your dentist feels your child needs extra protection from tooth decay, he may recommend sealing them up.

This is a simple and painless process, which can be performed on their big teeth. A layer of plastic coating is applied which then hardens into a protective layer. The effect is that the teeth are very well protected from decay.
