Children’s teeth, especially molars, often have deep grooves and pits that are prone to trapping food particles and bacteria. These areas can be difficult to clean thoroughly, making them highly susceptible to cavities. At North Face Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre, we offer pit and fissure sealants—a simple, painless, and highly effective preventive measure that shields your child’s teeth from decay. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They create a smooth barrier over the natural grooves, preventing food and plaque from accumulating. This non-invasive treatment is typically recommended for children soon after their permanent molars erupt—usually between the ages of 6 and 12—to provide early protection and long-term benefits. The application process is quick and comfortable. Our pediatric dental experts clean the tooth, apply a special gel to roughen the surface, rinse, and then paint on the sealant material. A curing light hardens the sealant in seconds, and your child can return to normal activities immediately. Sealants can last for several years with proper oral hygiene and routine dental checkups. At North Face Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre, we combine expert care with advanced materials to ensure your child’s sealants are durable and effective. Regular monitoring allows us to maintain or reapply sealants as needed. This proactive approach significantly reduces the risk of cavities, saves money on future dental treatments, and keeps your child’s smile healthy and cavity-free.
