The main motivation of preventative dentistry is to prevent problems that affect your well-being, appearance, and oral health from ever arising. Fissure sealants are a common method that we specialise in here at JJ Smiles, consisting of a plastic coating applied to tooth pits and grooves, usually on the permanent molars at the back of the mouth. Fissure sealants prevent decay from developing, keeping your teeth healthy and your smile bright.

The molars towards the back of the mouth are the most vulnerable to decay because their grooves and pits are harder to clean and manage. Being where they are, they’re easy to forget from time to time, and given their shape and position, their contours are harder to access. Fortunately fissure sealants are an affordable method for protecting your teeth, ensuring that you can chew, eat and drink comfortably for as long as possible.

As accredited dentists, we know that preventative dentistry is the best way to achieve a healthy smile right now and into the future. Making an investment to your oral health now will avoid possible pain and discomfort later on. In addition to regular dental check-ups and standard hygiene practices, we have a spectrum of preventative dental care treatments here at JJ Smiles that will help keep your teeth and gums in the best possible condition. You might like to consider seeking dietary advice, oral hygiene treatments, fissure sealants and periodontal care to support a healthy smile.
