Dental caries represent a very common oral health problem among children. At Névé Dental Clinic, we protect your children’s teeth against cavities with effective preventive solutions. One of these solutions is fissure sealing, also known as sealants, a simple and painless method performed by our pediatric dentist.

What is fissure sealing?

Sealants involve applying a thin layer of protective resin on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These teeth often have deep grooves and fissures that are difficult to clean properly with a toothbrush, making these areas particularly vulnerable to cavities. By sealing these grooves, we create a smooth and protective barrier that prevents bacteria and food debris from accumulating.

Why is fissure sealing important?

• Cavity prevention: Sealants protect teeth by preventing bacteria from accumulating in hard-to-clean areas.
• Long-lasting: Sealants can last several years, providing durable protection during critical periods of a child’s dental growth.
• Quick and painless procedure: Applying sealants is quick, painless, and does not require any anesthesia.

How we apply sealants

Cleaning the teeth

We thoroughly clean the teeth to remove all plaque and food debris.

Drying

Next, we dry and isolate the teeth to ensure a clean and dry surface for the sealant application.

Applying the sealant

• Conditioning: We apply a conditioning solution on the chewing surfaces to help the sealant adhere properly.
• Applying the sealant: We apply the sealing resin into the grooves and fissures of the teeth.
• Curing: We use a special light to harden the resin, creating a solid protective barrier.

Verification and adjustments

Once the sealant is hardened, our pediatric dentist checks the child’s occlusion and makes the necessary adjustments.

The benefits of fissure sealing

• Cavity reduction: Studies show that children with dental sealants develop far fewer cavities in sealed teeth.
• Safety and effectiveness: The sealing materials we use are safe, biocompatible, and effective in preventing cavities.
• Support for oral hygiene: Fissure sealing makes brushing teeth easier and improves overall oral hygiene.
