8. What are pit and fissure sealants?
A sealant is a resin material that is applied to the pits and fissures of back teeth.
A sealant acts as a barrier, protecting the enamel from bacterial plaque in cavity prone areas.
Children are much more susceptible to tooth decay than adults and should have their back teeth sealed as soon as the teeth grow in fully.
Applying sealants is a quick, easy and painless procedure. They are painted on and bonded in place.
