Tooth decay is one of the most common oral health problems in
children. Deep fissures, particularly on the chewing surfaces of
molars, create a breeding ground for food debris and bacteria.
These areas are difficult to completely clean with regular
brushing.
Fissure sealants are a protective treatment that helps prevent
cavities by sealing the recessed areas of teeth. Also known as
"dental vaccinations," fissure sealants are a common practice.
