Fissure Sealants In Blackburn
Our teeth have naturally occurring fissures (“pits and grooves”) on the chewing surfaces which collect food after each meal. Toothbrushes do not always clean up those grooves (see picture). Over time softening and deepening of those fissures occur, leading to decay. If left untreated, you will surely get a toothache!
Fissure sealants are plastic coatings that set rock hard in those grooves, and are great for children and adults alike for decay prevention.
At Hearts Dental, your dentist in Blackburn is dedicated to disease prevention. We use advanced techniques to ensure optimal bonding strengths for your fissure sealants. When applied correctly, fissure sealants can last many years, similar to regular fillings.
Call us today to have your or your child’s teeth assessed and see if they can benefit from fissure sealants in Blackburn.
