Fissure sealing

Caries is still one of the most common dental diseases in the population. However, there is now an excellent method for optimal prevention. In the so-called fissure sealing, a thin protective layer of plastic is applied to the chewing surfaces and cured. This protects the chewing surfaces, which are particularly prone to caries, mechanically against damage and the penetration of pathogens. This reduces the caries susceptibility of the chewing surfaces by 70 to 90 percent

It makes sense to make the first sealing in children around the age of 5-6 years, when the first permanent molars are there. Fissure sealing is a simple, painless and very effective measure that protects you and your children from fissure caries. The seal should be checked regularly for completeness by your dentist.
