The pros and cons of pit and fissure sealing

The advantage of pit and fissure sealing is to prevent tooth decay and increase the service life of teeth. The disadvantage is that the cracks may decay.

Pit and fissure sealing is a relatively common treatment method. After the child replaces his permanent teeth, he needs to go to the oral department of the hospital for a dental examination in time. If there is no tooth decay and caries, the teeth can be cleaned, and then professional materials can be used for tooth surface smear treatment, which can protect the teeth and reduce food corrosion, reduce the occurrence of caries, and improve the health of the teeth. After the pit and fissure sealing, you also need to pay attention to oral hygiene. After eating, you should rinse your mouth with clean water in time, or use a soft-bristled toothbrush and pure plant toothpaste to clean your teeth, which can remove food pigments and residues on the surface.

There are also some disadvantages to doing pit and fissure sealing. If you don't brush your teeth regularly after pit and fissure sealing, or if the supplementary material is severely worn, the gaps between the teeth will increase. After food residues remain in the tooth for a long time, the enamel may be damaged, and tooth decay and bad breath may occur. If not treated in time, tooth decay may become more and more serious, resulting in large areas of tooth defects. If tooth damage occurs after a pit and fissure sealing, you need to go to the hospital's dental department for examination in time, and then undergo tooth grinding and tooth repair treatment.
