Apply fissure sealant

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.

Fissure sealants can 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.
