Fissure Sealants:
A fissure sealant is a protective coating placed on the biting surfaces of the teeth to prevent tooth decay. It is often used on the first permanent molars, which erupt into the mouth at about 6 years of age. As these teeth have deep fissures or grooves, they are susceptible to decay as the fissures cannot be cleaned properly, even with regular brushing and flossing. The sealant makes cleaning the tooth easier and will prevent decay in the pits and fissures.
The application of a sealant is quick and comfortable and they can last for years if they are well maintained and cared for.
Mouthguards:
A mouthguard is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums, usually as a result of contact sports.
