Dental Fissure Sealants

Dental Fissure Sealants Eltham

The team at Ferrari Dental Care believe in preventive dentistry, taking the measures to ensure that teeth are protected from damage in the future.

Fissures are the grooves that naturally occur on the biting surface of teeth. These fissures or grooves are prone to tooth decay since food particles can get trapped in them. This is especially true if the dental fissures are deep and narrow, which means normal brushing may not always clean out the trapped particles. The trapped food creates plaque which in turn leads to tooth decay and cavities.

Dental Fissure Sealants are a type of preventive dental treatment to protect teeth from tooth decay and plaque, sealing these fissures or grooves minimises the risk of trapped food and eventual break down of the teeth.

Fissure Sealants are the perfect treatment for children in order to protect their teeth from decay as they grow older. To find out more about dental fissure sealants, speak to our friendly team today!
