Prevent cavities by blocking the harmful bacteria

Highest quality sealants in Maryborough

Fissure Sealants are a preventative measure to stop bacteria from entering the deep grooves in the teeth. Made from composite resin, it blends naturally on to your teeth to create a protective barrier. Sealants are commonly applied on the deep grooves, which are called ‘fissures’.

If left untreated, bacteria will hide out in the fissures causing frequent toothaches and tooth decay. The sealants are applied in areas where regular brushing and flossing can’t reach.
