Fissure Sealants

What parent wouldn’t want to protect their child from the potential distress and discomfort of dental treatment?

Here at Aquae Sulis Dental Implant Clinic, we believe that the correct application of fissure sealants is set to become a cornerstone of successful preventative dentistry. And we want our next generation of patients, throughout Bath, Somerset and the Bristol area, to reap the benefits.

Fissure sealing is a technique where a resin is bonded into the fissures on the biting surface of the back teeth, thus reducing the amount of food able to get trapped there and so preventing decay.

This is generally done at age 6-7 and again at age 11-12 when the first and second adult molars come into the mouth.

Many adults today have fillings on their back teeth that could have been prevented if fissure sealants were around when they were children. We believe this innovative treatment could significantly reduce the amount of dental work needed in adult life.
