pit and fissure sealants

Pit and fissure sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, where deep grooves and crevices often trap food and bacteria. The sealant is a thin, plastic film that bonds into the tiny pits and fissures, creating a smooth surface that makes it easier to clean and less likely for cavities to develop. This preventive treatment is quick, painless, and helps maintain long-term dental health, especially in children and teenagers, by reducing the risk of decay in those hard-to-clean areas.
