Fissure Sealant Restorations in Worcestershire for Protecting Tiny Trenches

Let’s imagine your teeth are like fortified castles, and the deep grooves and pits on their chewing surfaces are narrow trenches ripe for invasion by cavity-causing enemies. Fissure sealant restorations are like sturdy shields placed over these trenches, protecting your pearly whites from attack.

Here’s how New Road Dental can help keep your smile safe:

Step 1: Scouting the Trenches

We’ll start by examining your teeth with a bright light and special tools to identify any suspicious-looking pits or fissures. Think of it like an aerial reconnaissance mission, mapping out the enemy’s potential strongholds.

Step 2: Preparing for Defense

Just like cleaning a battlefield before building defenses, we’ll gently clean and dry the targeted teeth. This ensures the shield adheres firmly to the surface.

Step 3: The Etching Phase

Imagine the shield needing a slightly rough surface to grip onto the castle wall. We’ll use a mild acidic solution to create tiny, invisible bumps on the enamel, similar to texturing a wall for better plaster adhesion. Don’t worry, it’s completely painless!

Step 4: Shielding the Trenches

Now comes the fun part! We’ll apply a special liquid resin, like molten plastic, into the prepared trenches. Think of it as pouring molten metal into the castle’s trenches to seal them shut.

Step 5: Hardening the Defenses

To solidify the resin shield, we’ll use a special light, like a magical hardening ray, to transform the liquid into a strong, tooth-colored barrier.

Step 6: Victory Inspection

Once the shield is set, we’ll check for any gaps or rough edges and gently smooth them out, ensuring your bite feels comfortable. Now, your trenches are protected!

Bonus Round: Regular Patrols

Remember, even the sturdiest shields need occasional checks. We recommend scheduling regular dental checkups to ensure your fissure sealants are still holding strong and your smile remains victorious against cavity-causing foes.

Remember

Fissure sealants are most effective for permanent teeth, especially molars and premolars with deep grooves.

They are typically painless and quick, taking around 15-30 minutes per tooth.

Sealants can last for several years, but may need reapplication if they chip or wear down.
