Fissure Sealant in Sri Petaling, KL

Fissure Sealants

At  E. L. Lim Sri Petaling, we understand that dental health is a vital part of your child’s overall well-being. Fissure sealants are a simple yet effective way to prevent tooth decay, especially in young children and teenagers. Our team is dedicated to providing the best preventive care to ensure your child maintains a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.

What Are Fissure Sealants?

Fissure sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, typically molars and premolars, to shield them from decay. These teeth often have deep grooves and pits, making them more susceptible to cavities. Sealants fill in these grooves, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less prone to trapping food and bacteria.

Benefits of Fissure Sealants

Cavity Prevention: Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities in molars by up to 80%. They act as a barrier against plaque, food particles, and harmful bacteria.

Cost-Effective: Preventing cavities with sealants is generally less expensive than treating them with fillings or other dental work.

Painless Application: The process of applying fissure sealants is quick and painless, often completed in just one visit.

Long-Lasting: Sealants can last for several years, providing ongoing protection as your child grows and their dental health evolves.

Who Needs Fissure Sealants?

pediatric dentistry kl

Fissure sealants are particularly beneficial for children and adolescents, as they are more prone to cavities during their early years. Multiple dental associations recommend that children receive sealants as soon as their permanent molars emerge, typically around ages 6 and 12. However, adults can also benefit from sealants if they have deep grooves in their molars.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Consultation

During your first visit, our dentist will examine your child’s teeth and determine if fissure sealants are appropriate. 

Preparation

The teeth to be sealed are thoroughly cleaned and dried. This ensures that the sealant adheres properly.

Application

The sealant material is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. A special light may be used to harden the sealant quickly.

Final Check

Once the sealant is applied and cured, our dentist will check to ensure a proper bite and make any necessary adjustments.

Caring for teeth with fissure sealants is straightforward. Encourage your child to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. Regular dental check-ups will also help ensure that the sealants remain intact and effective.
