Fissure Sealer

Fissure Sealer

The indentations on the chewing surfaces of primary and permanent molars are defined as fissures. Structurally, these grooves are shallow and wide in some teeth, while they are narrow, deep and irregular in others.

Narrow, deep and irregular fissures create an ideal environment for plaque accumulation and make cleaning by brushing nearly impossible.

Fissure sealant is a protective application and is not suitable for teeth that have lost material due to decay.

The purpose of fissure sealant is to cover the narrow, deep and irregular grooves of teeth with a fluid/liquid filling material before they decay and to obtain surfaces that can be cleaned more easily. It is a painless and easy procedure.

Milk teeth are primarily important for nutrition, as are permanent teeth. Milk teeth are of great importance for chewing, nutrition and therefore growth and development. One of the most important functions of milk teeth is to act as placeholders for the permanent teeth that will come underneath. It is very important for milk teeth to be complete so that the teeth that will come underneath can line up properly.

For a child who is just learning to talk, being able to pronounce letters correctly and speak properly is possible thanks to milk teeth.

Early loss of front baby teeth due to decay at an early age or the black/brown appearance due to decay can affect the psychology of children, especially those who have just started school and are just starting to make friends.
