Fissure Sealant

What are Pits & Fissures?

Although teeth may seem like they are smooth, they are not. Microscopically, a tooth’s outer enamel surface looks like the moon’s surface. Tiny pits and fissures present on the surface allows bacteria and plaque to take refuge within it. These tiny pits are mostly present on the back molars which are hard to keep clean with just a toothbrush leaving your teeth vulnerable to infection.

Fissure Sealant

An effective method to prevent your teeth from decaying is to follow a Professional Dental Cleaning with dental sealants. Just like you would apply a final varnish coating to wooden furniture to protect it from insects and scratches, dentists use a special tooth coloured liquid paste to seal these tiny fissures, effectively prevent tooth decay

Sealant Process

Pit and Fissure sealants are done soon after a thorough professional dental clean up. Once your teeth are cleaned, and polished a thick creamy tooth coloured paste is rubbed on the surface of each tooth with the excessive cleaned off. The paste is hardened under an ultraviolet light, which helps to speed up the process. The entire treatment takes just a few minutes and is painless.

Dental sealants are a great way to keep your teeth protected and free of bacteria and possible decay. Visit the Dubai Sky Clinic for professional fissure sealants today.
