Fissure Sealants for Cavity Prevention

​The narrow and deep grooves on back (molar) teeth can collect plaque which the toothbrush cannot reach. These grooves or fissures are high-risk sites for dental decay.

A fissure sealant is a tooth coloured protective coating which fills and seals in children’s teeth to prevent bacteria from entering and causing decay. Applied early on after the first molar erupts into the mouth at the age of 6 years old, sealants can protect teeth at their most vulnerable time. Sometimes sealants may also be recommended to adults for high risk deep grooves that have not yet decayed.

Having fissure sealants placed is quick and painless. It usually takes a few minutes per tooth and is much less complicated than having a dental filling. To check there isn’t any decay present before we begin we may take a set of x-rays.

This procedure can be completed by one of our Dentists, Dental Hygienists or Oral Health Therapists.

What Our Patients Say About Our Children's Dental Care Services

  • I very rarely leave reviews, but this is warranted. I’m a very nervous patient when it comes to sitting in a dental chair, however from the moment I walked in to make an appointment and explained my situation I was made to feel relaxed. Dr Jia Leong made the experience actually quite enjoyable. She is very thorough, patient and professional. This is a very modern, fully equipped dental surgery you should not look past. And again, if you are nervous, Dr Leong and Mitcham dental clinic is the clinic for you.

    Have to update my post - seriously, Dr Ron and the team are just absolutely amazing. This is coming from someone that's just walked out of a root canal - with zero discomfort, zero pain. Seeing Dr Ron has taught me one thing - going to the dentist doesn't have to be a painful and terrifying experience - it's all about patient comfort (and obviously tooth care). Just brilliant! Original post: Amazing all around service. Dr Ron and his staff are wonder workers - they're all about putting patients at ease - talking through procedures, getting the time to know you as a patient (I'm one of those people that don't really love visiting the dentist) - but they all are there to help you through the process - it's actually awesome - turning my experiences there into a pain and stress free procedure. Also, while I was waiting (and they did it for me too), I saw the reception staff with the patients leaving - they actually sat down and worked out the best possible way to pay - i.e. how to minimise the customers cost. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

    I highly recommend Dr Jia Leong. She was professional, caring and gentle. I had a clean and fillings and Dr Jia made sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. The reception staff and dental assistant were friendly and the clinic was very clean. Do yourself a favour and visit Mitcham Dental Clinic for exceptional care.

    I have been attending this Clinic for approximately 30 years. Ron and his team are extremely professional and provide exceptional care. I have neglected to write a review in the past but after recently having a tooth removed as it couldn’t be saved I want to say thanks again for making the process painless. I even had a follow up call from Ron to check that all okay. Now that’s what I call professional and care !!!

  • Exceeded my expectations, had 2 broken teeth, thought they had to be removed, to my amazement David managed to reconstruct them, very happy ?

    Dentist Yvonne was very gentle, I barely felt the needle, did a great job on refilling my tooth. All staff pleasant and helpful.

    Brilliant , had a broken tooth, extremely sore at 0700am on a Friday, not a shock that there was no answer. I took that what I thought was a long shot by contacting them on Facebook messenger. To my shock I got a message back within minutes and then got a call from Bianca booking me in at 0930am the same day. Brilliant.
