Fissure Sealant Preventing Tooth Cavities

Deep grooves in your teeth are known as “pits” and “fissures”. It occurs naturally on the biting surfaces of teeth. Various factors cause grooves to expand, including plaque build-up, brushing forcefully with a hard toothbrush, eating disorders like anorexia or bite misalignment. If you also have grooves in teeth, then a fissure sealant or dental sealant is the preventive treatment for you to consider. At Hashtag Dentist, we take pride in ourselves for providing effective tooth fissure sealing treatment as per your needs.

Over the years, we have been helping people to seal the fissures or pits on the top of their back teeth while preventing teeth lost. Our dental technicians use special dental paint to tint the chewing surface of your tooth. As a result, all the nooks and crannies are sealed, which makes your tooth easier to clean while blocking decay. With us, you will get a correctly sealed tooth and 100% protection.

Significance of Applying Dental Sealants at Hashtag Dentist

If the bitting surface of your back teeth contains pits and fissures, then dental sealants are vital for you. Here, pits are a small depression on the surface of your tooth, whereas fissures are the grooves that occur naturally on all biting surfaces of teeth. When you choose us for tooth fissure sealing process, we first examine the pattern of the fissures. If it is simple and shallow, then you can clean it easily with your tooth and here no sealant is recommended.

However, if the fissures of your teeth are deep and narrow, then it provides a sheltered place for bacteria to develop. It is because the bristles of your brush cannot reach the plaque and food debris stuck in there. As a result, it leads to decay. Note that the fissure is five times more likely to deteriorate than other tooth surfaces.

Getting fissure sealants at Hashtag Dentist render the pits and fissures easier to clean during chewing because food particles do not get trapped when you have sealants applied. Usually, the sealants last for years, but you need to regularly visit the dentist for ensuring that the seal is intact. In case of wear, we also help you to replace the sealant to avoid tooth decay.

I definitely recommend this dentist. I had appointments with Dr. Sonia and appreciate the effort that she went to when explaining problems she found, using pictures of my teeth as reference. After getting some fillings done I'm very happy with my experience, and will continue to go there. Thanks again Dr. Sonia and friendly staff!

Dr Amit and team are awesome, great service, advice and treatment. I must admit i do suffer a bit of anxiety when going to the dentist, though Dr Amit was excellent in explaining and telling me what he was doing and it helped me manage my anxiety. Very highly recommend.

Louise Stott

So happy we found Hashtag Dentist & Dr Amit Deveshkar following a not-so-good experience with another local dental practice. He has such a good way with his younger patients, making them feel at ease and explaining everything so it's easy to understand. And even with the more difficult dental work, I feel very confident as his skillset is second to none. Highly recommended!
