Why should we apply dental sealant?
The occlusal surfaces have natural grooves facilitating the accumulation of dental plaque, which ultimately may lead to tooth decay. Since the bristles on the toothbrush are thicker than the grooves, it is difficult to reach and clean all areas. To avoid any problems, the dentist or hygienist cleans and fills the grooves to smooth the occlusal surface, so the food particles do not get trapped in.
Dental sealant is highly recommended to children aged between 6 and 14 years old, especially if their molars/premolars have deep grooves. However, adults who are more likely to have tooth decay may also get sealants.
Would you like to know if the application of pit and fissure sealants would be recommended to you or your child? Do not hesitate and contact our professionals at the Centre dentaire de la gare.
