Dental Sealants are a simple non invasive procedure that can make a huge difference to your oral health. The ideal time to place a fissure sealants is upon eruption of the tooth prior to it having a chance to develop caries. The pits and fissures of the teeth (especially the molars) are the most likely areas to develop tooth decay. If left unattended decay can lead to internal bacterial exposure such as pulpitis (infection of the inner tooth pulp) which in turn can cause the tooth to die. Although this process takes time, your adult teeth are the only teeth that you have and once they are gone they are not growing back.
