If
there are deep fissures on a tooth, dental plaque can
easily accumulate in these fissures where the toothbrush
bristles cannot access to and clean these areas thoroughly.
Therefore, these teeth are prone to Dental Caries.
Seal up fissures and prevent dental caries
Fissure sealant is a tooth-coloured resin, which is well adhered to the enamel of the tooth. Fissure sealant seals off the fissures of a tooth to prevent Dental Caries by blocking the plaque in the fissures from getting access to the dietary sugars.
