At Advanced Dentistry, we are dedicated to preventing dental problems before they start. One of the preventive methods we use is tooth sealing, a simple but effective process that can help protect teeth from cavities.
Fissure Sealing
Brief
Fissure sealing (Tooth sealing) is a preventive method used at Advanced Dentistry to protect teeth against cavities. Fissure sealing is effective in preventing cavities, offering an additional level of protection, especially for children. It is a simple, painless, and cost-efficient method, contributing to maintaining a healthy smile in the long term. Here's a summary of the process:
- Fissure sealing involves the application of a transparent plastic material on the chewing surface of permanent teeth (usually molars and premolars), forming a protective shield over the enamel of the teeth. This prevents the accumulation of bacterial plaque and food debris in the tooth fissure and cracks of the teeth, which are areas prone to cavities.
- While it is especially recommended for children and teenagers who have a higher risk of cavities, adults can also benefit from this procedure, especially if they have a high risk.
- The fissure sealing procedure is simple and can be done in a single visit to the dentist. The tooth is cleaned, dried, and then prepared with a solution that facilitates the adhesion of the sealant. The sealant is applied and hardened with a special light.
Through this method, Advanced Dentistry emphasizes its dedication to preventing dental problems before they occur.

What Does Tooth Sealing Mean?
Tooth sealing is a preventive dental procedure that involves applying a sealing material - a thin, transparent plastic - to the chewing surface of permanent teeth (usually molars and premolars). This forms a protective shield over the enamel of the tooth and helps prevent the accumulation of bacterial plaque and food debris in the crevices and cracks of the teeth, where cavities most often occur.

Who Should Opt for Tooth Sealing?
Sealings are often recommended for children and teenagers, as they are at higher risk of developing cavities on the chewing surfaces of their teeth. However, adults can also benefit from tooth sealing, especially if they are at high risk of cavities.
Tooth Sealing Procedure
The sealing procedure is quick, painless, and can be completed in a single visit to the dental clinic. First, the tooth is cleaned and dried. Then, a solution is applied to the tooth that helps the sealant adhere to the tooth. After rinsing and drying the tooth again, the sealant is applied and hardened with a special light.
Benefits of Tooth Sealing
Tooth sealing is an effective method for preventing dental cavities, especially in children. It is a simple, painless, and cost-effective process, providing an additional level of protection against cavities and helping to maintain a healthy smile over the long term.
Frequently asked questions
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment involving the application of a protective material on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They are often recommended for children and adolescents to prevent cavities.
Sealants are often recommended for children and adolescents, as cavities are more common in these age groups. Ideally, sealants are applied as soon as permanent molars erupt, usually between 6 and 14 years of age.
Dental sealants can last several years but should be checked periodically for wear or damage during regular dental check-ups.
Sealants are usually transparent or very close in color to the tooth, so they are typically hard to notice. Their purpose is to be effective, not to alter the aesthetic appearance of the tooth.
