Children’s Fissure Sealants at Avenue Dental
Fissure Sealants to Protect Teeth from Decay
At Avenue Dental, we believe in the power of prevention when it comes to your child’s oral health. Fissure sealants are one of the most effective ways to protect your child’s teeth from decay, providing an extra layer of defense in those hard-to-reach areas. Designed specifically for molars and premolars with deep grooves, fissure sealants are a quick, painless, and highly effective solution for long-term dental health.
What Are Fissure Sealants?
Fissure sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth. These teeth often have natural grooves and pits that can trap food particles and bacteria, increasing the risk of cavities. By sealing these grooves, fissure sealants create a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less prone to decay.
Why Are Fissure Sealants Important?
- Decay Prevention: Sealants act as a barrier, protecting vulnerable areas from plaque and bacteria.
- Quick and Painless: The application process is non-invasive, requiring no drilling or anesthesia.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Fissure sealants can provide years of defense against cavities with proper care.
- Cost-Effective: Preventing decay can save time and money by reducing the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.

The Fissure Sealant Process
At Avenue Dental, applying fissure sealants is a simple and stress-free procedure:
- Teeth Cleaning: The tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned to ensure the sealant adheres properly.
- Preparation: The tooth is dried, and a special solution is applied to help the sealant bond.
- Sealant Application: The sealant material is carefully painted onto the grooves of the tooth.
- Hardening: A curing light is used to harden the sealant, creating a durable protective layer.
The entire process is quick and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for children.
Are Fissure Sealants Right for Your Child?
Fissure sealants are particularly beneficial for children as their permanent molars and premolars erupt, typically around the ages of 6 to 12. Our experienced dentists at Avenue Dental will assess your child’s teeth and recommend sealants if they are at a higher risk of developing cavities in these areas.
