Dental Sealants (Fissure Sealing) at Pure Care Dentists in Hoofddorp

Some teeth, especially the back molars, have deep grooves and pits where food and bacteria can easily get trapped. Even with good brushing, these areas are difficult to clean. That’s why at Pure Care Dentists in Hoofddorp we offer dental sealants (fissure sealing) a simple and effective preventive treatment that protects teeth against cavities.

What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings made of a safe resin material. They are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, sealing the deep grooves (fissures) so bacteria cannot enter. This makes the teeth smoother, easier to clean, and much more resistant to decay.

Why are sealants important?

The back teeth are especially vulnerable to cavities because:

  • They have deep fissures where plaque builds up,
  • Children and teenagers often find them hard to clean properly,
  • Bacteria can damage enamel before decay is noticed.

Sealants act as a shield, lowering the risk of cavities and protecting teeth during the most cavity-prone years.

Who can benefit from sealants?

Sealants are most often used for:

  • Children – when permanent molars erupt (around age 6 and 12),
  • Teenagers – to protect developing teeth,
  • Adults – with deep grooves or a high risk of decay.

How does fissure sealing work?

The application is quick, safe, and completely painless:

  1. The tooth is cleaned thoroughly.
  2. A gentle gel prepares the surface.
  3. The liquid sealant is applied into the grooves.
  4. A special blue light hardens the material in seconds.

Each tooth only takes a few minutes to seal, with no drilling or anaesthesia required.
