Dental Sealant Priorswood

Fissure sealant

The biting surface of back teeth have many crevices and grooves running across them.  these are called fissures.  Food and bacteria can become trapped in these and eventually cause decay.  To reduce the risk of decay the fissures can be sealed using a special plastic.  This is a great introduction to children getting their first treatment.
