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.

Mitcham Dental would have to be one of the BEST dental clinics in the east. They are always so accomodating, friendly and very experienced in all aspects of dentistry. I am quite a nervous patient when it comes to my teeth. They are also very patient and make the customer feel comfortable at all times. So many options are given to a patient and always explained prior to treatment. I must give Sarah a thumb up always for taking care of my teeth and making me feel comfortable, and not nervous whilst performing my dental treatment. The outcome is always positive and I always keep coming back. Congratulations to the whole team at Mitcham Dental. Keep up the grest work!

Staff are fantastic and very accommodating, I didn't feel belittled or guilted at all which I have experienced at other dentists. Everything was easily explained and my concerns were taken into account. The building is clean and comfy and they go above and beyond to provide as comfortable a service as possible. I highly recommend this clinic if you're in the area.

Hi Everyone, I wish to highly recommend the Mitcham Dental Clinic to anyone requiring a 1st class Dental Service with special kudos to Sarah Nguyen, a marvelous technician who conducted a front tooth implant in a professional painless manner and squeezed me into her busy schedule at such short notice because they actually care about their clients. Of all the Dental Clinics I have experienced Mitcham Dental Clinic is the Best. With special thanks to Sarah Nguyen and the team
