Prophylactic Treatments (Pit and Fissure Sealants)
At Revive Dental Clinic, we offer prophylactic treatments like pit and fissure sealants to protect your child's teeth from cavities and decay. These sealants are a preventive measure designed to safeguard the grooves and crevices of the teeth, especially in the back molars, which are more susceptible to plaque and bacteria.
Pit and fissure sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They act as a barrier, sealing off the deep grooves and crevices that are hard to clean with regular brushing, reducing the risk of cavities and promoting long-term oral health.
Benefits of Pit and Fissure Sealants for Kids
Pit and fissure sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from decay, especially in the molars. These treatments are non-invasive, quick, and highly effective in preventing cavities.
- Prevents cavities and decay in hard-to-reach areas
- Protects the grooves and pits of molars from plaque buildup
- Non-invasive, quick, and comfortable procedure
- Long-lasting protection with minimal maintenance
Our pediatric dental team uses high-quality materials to apply the sealants, ensuring that they bond securely to your child’s teeth for long-lasting protection. The process is quick, painless, and can be done during a regular check-up.
How Pit and Fissure Sealants Work
During the procedure, we clean the surface of your child’s teeth and apply the sealant material, which is then hardened using a special light. The sealant bonds to the grooves and pits of the molars, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less prone to decay. This simple treatment provides effective, long-term protection against cavities.
