Protect Your Teeth Before Cavities Start
Toothtown Dental Clinic, Coimbatore offers pit and fissure sealants to help protect teeth from cavities. Deep grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of teeth can trap food and plaque, making them difficult to clean and increasing the risk of decay.
A pit and fissure sealant is a thin protective material that flows into these grooves and seals them. This makes the tooth surface easier to clean and provides an added layer of protection against cavities.
Pit & Fissure Sealants
Simple, Painless Protection Against Cavities
Sealants are especially useful for permanent molars and premolars with deep grooves and may also be recommended for suitable milk teeth. They are ideally placed soon after teeth erupt and before decay develops.
The procedure is simple and comfortable. No drilling or injections are normally required. The tooth is cleaned, the sealant is applied to the grooves, and it is hardened into place. Children can generally eat normally after the procedure.
