What Are Fissure Sealants?
Fissure sealants are a thin, tooth-coloured coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars).
The back teeth often have deep grooves (called fissures) where food and bacteria can easily get trapped—making them highly prone to decay.
The sealant fills and smooths these grooves, making teeth easier to clean and protecting them from cavities.
Fissure sealants are a quick, painless, and highly effective preventive treatment that creates a protective barrier over deep grooves in your teeth, helping stop bacteria and food from causing decay.
Whether for your child or yourself, this simple treatment can save you from future fillings and costly dental procedures.
Benefits of Fissure Sealants
- Prevent tooth decay before it starts
- Ideal for children, teenagers, and adults at risk
- Quick and completely painless procedure
- Long-lasting protection (can last several years)
- Saves money by avoiding fillings and treatments
- Studies show sealants can significantly reduce the risk of cavities in molars.
Who Needs Fissure Sealants?
Sealants are commonly recommended for:
Children & Teenagers
- As soon as permanent molars come through (around ages 6–14)
Adults
- With deep grooves in teeth
- Prone to cavities
- Wanting preventive dental care
Your dentist will assess whether sealants are suitable based on your risk of tooth decay.
The Process
The application process is simple and takes no more than a few minutes per tooth. First, we clean the tooth thoroughly using a special solution and then dry it completely. Next, we pretty much paint over the surface of the tooth and allow it to set, before we cure it using blue light.
Sealants can last for many years. However, we would like to conduct regular checks to detect any wear-and-tear early. Over time, the sealant might require further coats or replacement.
