Protect Your Child’s Teeth From Cavities Before They Start

Fissure sealants are a simple preventative dental treatment that protects back teeth from decay. At Park Ridge Dental, we commonly recommend fissure sealants for children and teenagers because molars are the teeth most likely to develop cavities.

The deep grooves in molars easily trap food and bacteria that brushing cannot fully remove. Sealants cover these grooves and stop decay before it begins helping your child avoid fillings in the future.

Our friendly Logan dentists provide gentle, fast fissure sealant treatment for families in Park Ridge, Browns Plains, Greenbank, Crestmead and surrounding suburbs.

What Are Fissure Sealants?

Fissure sealants are a thin protective coating placed on the chewing surface of back teeth (molars).

They act like a shield:

• Blocks food from getting stuck

• Prevents bacteria buildup

• Reduces cavity risk

• Keeps teeth healthy for years

Think of them as a raincoat for your teeth protection without drilling.

Who Needs Fissure Sealants?

Sealants are most beneficial for children, but adults can also benefit.

Recommended for:

• Children when adult molars first erupt (around age 6 and 12)

• Teens prone to cavities

• Patients with deep grooves in teeth

• Adults with high decay risk

Early prevention is always easier and cheaper than treatment later.

How Long Do Sealants Last?

Sealants usually last 3 to 7 years and are checked during regular dental visits.
If they wear down, they can simply be reapplied.

Regular checkups at Park Ridge Dental ensure ongoing protection.
