What Are Fissure Sealants?
Fissure sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. These areas can be difficult to clean properly with a toothbrush, especially for children, which can make them more vulnerable to decay.
The sealant creates a smoother surface that helps prevent food particles and bacteria from settling into the grooves. This makes the teeth easier to clean and supports long-term cavity prevention.
