Pit and Fissure Sealants
Fissure Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting your children’s teeth from decay. A sealant is a protective plastic coating, which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.
Sealants are only applied to the back teeth, the molars and premolars. These are the teeth that have the pits and fissures on their biting surfaces. Your dentist will tell you which teeth should be sealed after your child’s teeth have been examined. The teeth will also be checked to see whether the fissures are deep enough for sealing to help. Some teeth naturally form with deep grooves which need to be sealed; others with shallow ones will not need sealing. If your dentist feels that children’s teeth are unlikely to decay, he may decide not to seal the teeth when they initially come through. At subsequent dental examinations he will check to see that sealants are not required.
The process is usually quick and straightforward, taking only a few minutes per tooth. The tooth is thoroughly cleaned, prepared with a special solution, and dried. The liquid sealant is then applied and allowed to set hard, usually by shining an ultraviolet light onto it. The treatment is totally pain free, and the teeth do not feel any different afterwards.
Sealants usually last for several years, but your dentist will want to check them regularly to make sure that he seal is intact. They can wear over time, and sometimes the dentist needs to add or replace some sealant to be sure that no decay can start underneath them.
The sealant forms a smooth, protective barrier, by covering all the little grooves and pits in the surface of the tooth. Dental decay easily starts in these grooves.
Sealants are often applied as soon as the permanent teeth start to come through. This is usually between 6 and 7 years of age. The rest are usually sealed as soon as they appear which can be any time between 11 and 14 years of age.
The cost varies from dentist to dentist, but is usually good value.
Even if the teeth have been sealed it is vital that your children continue to brush their teeth. The smooth, sealed surface is now much easier to keep clean and healthy with normal toothbrushing. Using a fluoride toothpaste will also help to protect your children’s teeth. Pit and fissure sealing reduces tooth decay and the number of fillings your child might need.
If you would like to know more about the treatment, ask your dentist or hygienist. They will tell you if fissure sealing will help your children’s teeth, and if it is the right time to do it.
