Do fissure sealants hurt?

No. Sealants are non-invasive. We clean, condition and paint a protective coating into grooves, then light-cure. No injections or drilling in most cases.

How long do sealants last?

Several years with good care. We check them at routine visits and can repair or top-up if wear occurs.

Are sealants safe for kids?

Yes. Sealants are a widely used, evidence-based prevention for first and second permanent molars. We choose materials appropriate for children.

Can adults get sealants?

Absolutely. If your molars have deep grooves or early fissure changes, sealants can reduce future decay risk.

Will my health fund contribute?

Many plans contribute under preventive/general dental. We’ll provide an itemised quote so you can check your cover.
