Are you looking for a simple and effective way to safeguard your family’s teeth from cavities? At SK Vision Dentistry in Seven Hills, Sydney, led by experienced dentist Dr. Sanjita Karna, we offer pit and fissure sealants as a key preventive measure for patients of all ages.
Understanding Pit and Fissure Sealants
Our molars and premolars, the back teeth used for chewing, have natural grooves and depressions called pits and fissures. These areas can be difficult to clean, making them prime locations for food particles and bacteria to accumulate, leading to tooth decay. Pit and fissure sealants act as a protective barrier, smoothing out these surfaces and preventing the buildup of harmful substances.
How Sealants Work
Sealants are a thin, tooth-colored resin material applied directly to the chewing surfaces of your teeth. The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive, requiring no drilling or anesthesia. The sealant bonds to the tooth enamel, creating a smooth, impenetrable shield against decay-causing bacteria.
Who Benefits from Sealants?
- Children and Teenagers: Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers as their newly erupted permanent molars are most susceptible to cavities.
- Adults: Adults with deep pits and fissures, or those prone to cavities, can also benefit significantly from sealants.
- Anyone seeking preventive dental care: Sealants are a proactive approach to maintaining optimal oral health.
Benefits of Pit and Fissure Sealants at SK Vision Dentistry:
- Significant Cavity Reduction: Studies demonstrate that sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80%.
- Long-Lasting Protection: With proper care, sealants can last for several years, providing extended protection against decay.
- Non-Invasive Procedure: The application is quick, comfortable, and requires no drilling or injections.
