Fissure Sealants for Cavity Prevention
âThe 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 childrenâs 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 isnât 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 cannot believe this dental clinic- I have never felt so relaxed and so comfortable at a dentist before! I cannot recommend this clinic more highly.
Marianne McEwen
I have been attending this Clinic for approximately 30 years. Ron and his team are extremely professional and provide exceptional care. I have neglected to write a review in the past but after recently having a tooth removed as it couldnât be saved I want to say thanks again for making the process painless. I even had a follow up call from Ron to check that all okay. Now thatâs what I call professional and care !!!

I fell down and chipped my front tooth so I was desperately looking for a dental clinic that's still open. although it was very last minute, the clinic remained opened to see me which was such a nice gesture. Dr Trinh was very compassionate and friendly and immediately filled the tooth which now looks amazing. can't even tell the difference now! i usually am scared to go see a dentist but i felt very comfortable this time! thank you again!

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.
