Children's teeth are very vulnerable. This is especially true for chewing teeth with grooves and pits, which dentists call fissures.
Fissures are depressions that perfectly collect food debris and bacteria, and brushing with a toothbrush does not always cope with them. This is where fissure sealing becomes real protection.
Fissure sealing is the application of a special safe material to the chewing surfaces of the teeth, which fills all the grooves and cracks. After hardening, the sealant creates a reliable barrier that protects teeth from bacteria and caries, preserving natural enamel.
Why do children need sealing?:
- Prevention of caries — children’s teeth are thinner and more vulnerable, and sealant helps prevent the destruction of enamel in hard-to-reach places;
- Protecting hard-to-reach areas — fissures and pits on chewing teeth are almost impossible to clean perfectly with a brush. The sealant closes these areas and makes them inaccessible to bacteria;
- Reducing the risk of disease — sealing reduces the chance of not only caries, but also more serious problems such as pulpitis or gum inflammation.
How does the procedure work?:

- Preparing your teeth — the surface is thoroughly cleaned of plaque and food debris, dried and isolated from saliva;
- Applying sealant — the liquid composition fills all the grooves, creating a smooth surface;
- Hardening — a special lamp fixes the sealant in just a few minutes. After this, the tooth is ready for normal life, and the protection begins to work immediately.
Dentists advise sealants to be performed as soon as the permanent teeth erupt, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 years. The frequency of resealing depends on the condition of the child's teeth, hygiene and diet. Sometimes it is enough to update the protection every few years.
Fissure sealing is a simple and effective way to give your child a healthy smile for many years to come. Healthy teeth today means fewer problems tomorrow!
