Fissure sealants wear over time since they are placed on the chewing surfaces of the teeth under high biting forces. Replacement can be done easily without the need for complicated procedures.

FAQ's About
Fissure Sealants
How will my child's dentist perform a fissure sealant procedure?
Fissure sealant placement begins with cleaning the tooth to ensure that there are no impurities or plaque on the chewing surface where the sealant will be placed. The tooth is dried, and a cotton roll or rubber sheet is used to make sure that the tooth stays dry. A conditioning gel is brushed over the tooth. It is left on the tooth for 15-30 seconds, rinsed with water, and dried. Afterward, a bonding agent is applied to the tooth, and a light is shone over it to allow the sealant to stick to the tooth. This is followed by the application of the liquid sealant, which is allowed to harden using the curing light.
Will my child feel pain during the procedure?
Fissure sealant procedures are painless, and it is done quickly and easily. No anesthesia is needed, and the teeth should not feel any different after the procedure.
How long will my child's fissure sealant last?
Fissure sealants can last anywhere between five to ten years. Since the sealant is placed on the chewing surfaces, it is prone to wear due to high force. Because of this, replacement of the sealant is needed once it is already worn down.
How to prevent cavities after getting Dental Sealant?
To maintain the longevity of sealants and prevent cavities, it is important to practice good oral hygiene habits. Brushing the teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is essential. Flossing is also important to remove plaque and food debris between teeth. Avoid sugary snacks, drinks, and starchy foods since this increases the risk of tooth decay. Regularly visit the dentist for checkups and dental cleanings. If your child has sealants, let your dentist know so they can check them during the appointment. By following these simple tips, your child can prevent cavities and keep their smile healthy and bright!
