Fissure Sealants

Dental examination
• A sealant prevents decay because the plastic coating keeps bacteria and food debris from getting into the pits and grooves of the teeth.
• 80% to 90% of cavities in children occur in the pits and grooves. Sealants can prevent these cavities!
• Sealants can last for many years. If a sealant becomes worn, more sealant material can be applied on top of it.
• Sealants are most effective when they are put on as soon as possible after the eruption of the tooth.
• The teeth which benefit the most from sealants are the permanent molars and premolars.
• Costs may vary, but sealing a healthy tooth is less expensive than filling a decayed tooth. It costs roughly INR 200 to INR 500 per tooth.
• Sealants and fluorides offer the best combination for maximum protection against cavities.
• After 25 years of research, the National Institute of Dental Research has found sealants to be safe and highly effective.

• Effective.
• Safe.
