When does the child need to do pit and fissure sealing?
If you want your child's teeth to be healthy, pit and fissure sealing is a good choice. However, not every child needs to do this! The doctor will judge according to the child's dental condition.

A situation that does not need to be done

If the child's tooth surface is smooth, the pit and fissure are shallow, or dental caries have appeared, there is no need to do pit and fissure sealing.

The most suitable time

The deciduous molars of 3-4 years old were closed, the first permanent teeth of 6-7 years old were closed, and the second permanent teeth of 12- 13 years old were closed. These time periods are the most suitable.

How do children cooperate?

Children just need to open their mouths, don't lick their teeth with the tip of their tongue, and keep a natural and relaxed state!

How to maintain the pit and fissure after it is closed

After the pit and fissure is closed, children are forbidden to eat within 2 hours, avoid hard and sticky food within 24 hours, brush their teeth twice every morning and evening, check their teeth once every six months or a year, eat less sweets and rinse their mouths in time.

skill

Pit and fissure sealing is an effective method to prevent dental caries, but daily care is equally important! Remember to remind children to develop good habits and make their teeth healthier!
