"A Little Sealant Goes a Long Way - Keep Your Child's Teeth Strong and Healthy"
Pit and Fissure Sealants in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad
Protect Your Child’s Teeth with Sealants
At Kigo Dental in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, we understand the importance of protecting your child’s teeth from decay. Pit and fissure sealants are an effective way to prevent cavities in your child’s back teeth.
Dr. Gunnam Kishor recommends sealants as an essential part of your child’s oral health care.
What are Pit and Fissure Sealants?
The chewing surfaces of your child’s molars and premolars have tiny grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can easily hide. These areas are prone to cavities. Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to these surfaces to protect them from decay.
Benefits of Sealants
- Prevention of Cavities: Sealants create a protective barrier against bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities.
- Long-lasting: Sealants can last several years with proper care.
- Quick and Painless: The application process is fast and comfortable for your child.
- Cost-Effective: Preventing cavities with sealants is often less expensive than treating them later.
The Sealant Process
Dr. Gunnam Kishor and team will clean and dry your child’s teeth before applying a bonding agent. The sealant material is then painted on and hardened with a special light. The entire process is quick and painless.
Schedule a Checkup for Your Child
To determine if your child requires sealants, schedule a dental checkup at Kigo Dental in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Dr. Gunnam Kishor will examine your child’s teeth and recommend the best treatment plan.
Give your child the best start to a lifetime of oral health with pit and fissure sealants. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Protection against tooth decay: Pit and fissure sealants create a barrier on the chewing surfaces of a child’s teeth, protecting them from bacteria, food particles, and acid that can lead to decay and cavities.
Non-invasive: Unlike other dental procedures, sealants do not require any drilling or removal of tooth structure, making them a non-invasive way to protect a child’s teeth.
Cost-effective: Sealants are an affordable way to prevent tooth decay and cavities, which can be much more expensive to treat with fillings, root canals, and other procedures.
Suitable for children of all ages: Pit and fissure sealants can be applied to baby teeth as well as permanent teeth, making them an effective preventative measure for children of all ages.
Avoid hard or sticky foods: For the first few hours after the procedure, it’s best for your child to avoid hard or sticky foods that could dislodge the sealants. Encourage your child to stick to soft foods like yogurt, sauce, and pudding, and to avoid chewing on hard candies, ice, or other hard objects.
Continue to brush and floss: Even with sealants in place, it’s important for your child to continue brushing their teeth twice a day and flossing once a day. This helps remove any plaque or debris that could accumulate on the surface of the sealants and lead to decay.
Attend regular dental check-ups: It’s important for your child to continue attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure that the sealants are in good condition and providing adequate protection against decay. The dentist will monitor the condition of the sealants and let you know if any touch-up or replacement is needed.
Look for signs of wear or damage: While sealants are designed to last for several years, they can sometimes become worn or damaged over time. Encourage your child to let you know if they experience any sensitivity or discomfort, or if they notice any wear or damage to the sealants. If you notice any issues, contact your child’s dentist for an evaluation.
High risk of cavities: Children who have a history of cavities or who are at high risk of developing cavities may benefit from pit and fissure sealants.
Difficulty brushing: Children who have difficulty reaching their molars and premolars with a toothbrush, or who may not have developed good brushing habits, can benefit from sealants to protect these teeth.
Developmental or medical conditions: Children who have developmental or medical conditions that make it difficult for them to maintain good oral hygiene may benefit from sealants to help prevent cavities.
Poor diet: Children who consume a diet high in sugar or who frequently eat snacks or sugary drinks throughout the day may be more susceptible to cavities and may benefit from pit and fissure sealants.

FAQ's
Pit and fissure sealants are a thin, protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars to prevent cavities.
No, pit and fissure sealant treatment is not painful. The teeth are cleaned and dried before the sealant is applied, and the sealant itself is painless and non-invasive.
Pit and fissure sealants can last up to 10 years with proper care and maintenance. Your child’s dentist will check the sealants at each dental visit to ensure they are still intact.
There are typically no side effects of pit and fissure sealant treatment. In rare cases, some children may be allergic to the sealant material, but this is very uncommon.
Pit and fissure sealants are typically recommended for children as soon as their permanent molars and premolars have fully erupted, usually between the ages of 6 and 14.
While pit and fissure sealants are typically used in children, adults who are at high risk of developing cavities in their molars and premolars may also benefit from sealant treatment.
No, pit and fissure sealants do not require any special care. However, your child should continue to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
Children are more prone to tooth decay because their teeth are still developing, and they may not have developed proper oral hygiene habits yet. The back teeth have deep grooves and pits on their chewing surfaces that are difficult to clean, making them more susceptible to decay. Pit and fissure sealants can help prevent decay in these areas.
The application of pit and fissure sealants is a quick and painless process. First, the teeth are cleaned and dried. Then, an etching solution is applied to the chewing surfaces to create a rough surface for the sealant to bond to. The sealant is then applied to the teeth and cured with a special light to harden it.
After getting pit and fissure sealants, children should continue to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. They should also avoid eating hard or sticky foods that can damage the sealants.
