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.

Children’s Dental Care FAQs
It is recommended that your child has their first dental check up by the time they turn two. There are a number of important reasons including:
- Early detection of dental caries and other dental problems
- Small problems can be treated before they become larger issues
- Can have preventative dental treatment such as application of fluoride and dental sealants to prevent risk of dental caries
- Familiarise your child with the dental setting
Child dental care is just as important as adult dental care. Baby teeth play a big role in terms of proper eating, helps guide the adult teeth into their correct position, allows for normal development of the jaw and effects the development of speech. Furthermore, during children development self-image that healthy teeth gives is immeasurable.

I see the outstanding Dr David Trinh and my kids see Dr Sarah Nguyen. Honestly the best dentists by far. From the moment we switched dental clinics my kids have loved coming to visit the dentist. I know my family is in the best hands and honestly my husband is happy with any dentist at mitcham dental clinic because everyone is so lovely. The receptionists are also so friendly and accommodating! from making your appointment to having your treatment, i can see why they get alot of reviews. I cannot recommend Mitcham dental clinic highly enough!!

Friendly, professional service with kind and caring staff. The clinic is very clean and comfortable. Dr Ron is amazing with both children and adults. All of our family goes there. Can’t recommend highly enough.

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.

Mitcham Dental Clinic is honestly the best dental clinic that I've been to. Special shout-out to Sarah who is very thorough and clearly explains the work that needs to be done. I've never had an appointment where I've felt any pain (even with sensitive teeth)! The staff have a good culture and it shows in the customer experience that they provide.
