Fissure Sealants for Children’s Dentistry in London
What Are Fissure Sealants?
Children’s dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth, specifically the molars and premolars. These areas have deep grooves and fissures where food particles and bacteria can easily accumulate, making them susceptible to cavities. Fissure sealants act as a barrier, preventing food and bacteria from settling into these vulnerable areas.
Why Choose Fissure Sealants for Your Child?
- Prevent Tooth Decay: Fissure sealants are a highly effective way to prevent tooth decay in children. They create a protective shield that reduces the risk of cavities forming.
- Painless and Quick: The application of fissure sealants is a painless and quick procedure. Your child will be comfortable throughout the process.
- Long-Lasting: Fissure sealants can last for several years, providing continuous protection during the most cavity-prone years of your child’s life.
- Cost-Effective: Preventing cavities is more cost-effective than treating them. Fissure sealants help you avoid costly dental treatments down the road.

- Curing: A special light is used to harden and bond the sealant to the tooth.
