Protect Your Kids' Teeth From Cavities with Fissure Sealants
Cavities are a common dental concern for children and teens, primarily caused by the presence of plaque on the teeth. Plaque contains bacteria that produce acids, leading to tooth decay if left untreated.
Children often face challenges in effectively brushing their teeth without parental supervision, making cavities more likely due to unremoved food debris. At Star Dental and Implants, we offer Fissure Sealants, a proven and effective solution against tooth decay. This non-invasive and painless technique acts as a protective covering made of composite resin applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant forms a robust barrier, preventing food and bacteria from entering the tiny grooves and pits in the teeth, thus inhibiting decay. Choose Star Dental and Implants for your child's oral health, where we prioritize preventive measures to keep their smiles bright and cavity-free!

Frequently Asked Questions About Fissure Sealants
Why Are Fissure Sealants Important For Children?
Usually, children develop their first permanent molars around the age of 6. In many cases, permanent molars are missed during tooth brushing as they grow behind the primary teeth. This can cause plaque buildup and cause damage to both teeth and gums.
At What Age Should Your Child Visit The Dentist For Fissure Sealants?
The first molar normally appears around the age of six, following the baby teeth. It is preferable to have these molars sealed with dental sealants as soon as they emerge. When the rest of the molars appear, which can happen at any age up to 14 years old, the dentist can seal them if needed.
Can All Children Have Fissure Sealants?
Some children do not require fissure sealants as each individual case is unique. Our assessment of each child is based on their age, the likelihood of a tooth falling out, decay history, and other health and dental factors. A thorough oral examination can determine whether your child would benefit more from sealants.
Do You Have To Fissure All Your Child’s Teeth?
The fissure sealant is a treatment option used to prevent caries or tooth decay from developing. Yet, it may not be necessary for some children. The dentist will perform a thorough assessment to determine which teeth and how many teeth should receive dental sealants.
