Overview
Pits and grooves in the back teeth can trap food and lead to decay. A fissure sealant covers them to help prevent this. The tooth is cleaned and prepared, then the sealant is applied and set hard. It's painless, takes a few minutes per tooth, and is especially useful for children who have had decay in their baby teeth.
