🛡️ Cavity Prevention
Fissure Sealants
Protective shield applied to the deep grooves of permanent molars to stop cavities before they start.
About Fissure Sealants
The chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars) have deep natural grooves and pits called fissures. These microscopic crevices are often narrower than a single toothbrush bristle, making them the most vulnerable site for plaque accumulation and tooth decay in growing children.
Fissure sealants are ultra-thin, smooth protective tooth-colored coatings that Dr. Norton gently paints into these deep grooves. The sealant acts as an impenetrable barrier, preventing food particles, bacteria, and acids from settling in.
The procedure is entirely quick, comfortable, painless, and does not require drilling or injections.
