Cegah Gigi Berlubang Sejak Dini dengan Pit Fissure Sealant!

Pernah nggak sih merasa rajin sikat gigi, tapi si kecil masih aja punya gigi berlubang? Padahal sudah dibatasi makan manis, minum air putih banyak, dan gosok gigi dua kali sehari. Mungkin ini saatnya kenalan dengan si kecil penyelamat gigi: Pit Fissure Sealant!

Apa Itu Pit Fissure Sealant?

Pit fissure sealant adalah lapisan tipis berbahan resin (mirip plastik khusus) yang dioleskan ke permukaan kunyah gigi geraham—tempat favoritnya sisa makanan dan bakteri ngumpet. Tujuannya? Nutupin celah-celah kecil yang susah dibersihkan pakai sikat gigi biasa.

Karena permukaan gigi geraham punya alur dan lekukan yang dalam, sisa makanan gampang banget nyangkut di sana. Lama-lama bisa jadi sarang bakteri dan akhirnya terjadi gigi berlubang deh!

Siapa yang Butuh Sealant?

Sealant ini paling ideal buat:

• Anak-anak dan remaja yang baru tumbuh gigi geraham tetap (biasanya sekitar umur 6 dan 12 tahun).

• Orang dewasa yang punya gigi geraham dengan lekukan dalam dan belum berlubang.

• Mereka yang gampang banget kena karies meskipun udah rajin jaga kebersihan mulut.

Prosesnya Gimana? Sakit Nggak?

Tenang aja, prosesnya cepat, mudah, dan tanpa rasa sakit. Ini dia langkah-langkahnya:

1. Pertama, dokter gigi akan membersihkan terlebih dahulu agar bebas dari plak.

2. Lalu diberikan cairan khusus biar permukaan gigi lebih siap “direkatkan” sealant.

3. Selanjutnya sealant dioleskan ke permukaan gigi.

4. Disinari dengan lampu khusus supaya sealant mengeras dan nempel sempurna.

Semua proses ini bisa selesai dalam waktu kurang dari 30 menit—nggak pake drama!

Berapa Lama Bertahan?

Kalau dirawat dengan baik, pit fissure sealant bisa tahan hingga beberapa tahun. Tapi sebaiknya dicek rutin tiap kontrol ke dokter gigi, supaya bisa langsung ditambal lagi kalau ada bagian yang lepas.

Manfaat Sealant?

• Mengurangi risiko gigi berlubang sampai 80%

• Melindungi area gigi yang paling rentan karies

• Prosedur non-invasif, tanpa bor dan suntik

• Lebih hemat dibandingkan biaya tambal atau perawatan gigi berlubang

Jadi, Kapan Waktu Terbaik Pasang Sealant?

Semakin cepat semakin baik! Idealnya saat gigi geraham permanen baru tumbuh dan belum kena karies. Jadi, yuk ajak si kecil ke SmileXpress buat periksa dan lihat apakah sudah waktunya pasang sealant.

Prevent Cavities Early with Pit Fissure Sealant!

Ever feel like you’ve done everything right—brushing teeth regularly, cutting back on sweets, drinking lots of water—but your child still gets cavities? It might be time to get to know the little superhero for teeth: Pit Fissure Sealant!

What Is a Pit Fissure Sealant?

Pit fissure sealant is a thin layer of resin (kind of like a special plastic) that’s applied to the chewing surfaces of molar teeth, where food particles and bacteria love to hide. What’s the purpose? To seal those tiny grooves and pits that are tough to clean with a regular toothbrush.

Molars have deep grooves and natural pits that easily trap food. Over time, this becomes a cozy home for bacteria, and eventually, cavities form!

Who Needs Sealants?

Sealants are perfect for:

• Children and teens who’ve just had their permanent molars come in (usually around ages 6 and 12).

• Adults with deep grooves in their molars that haven’t yet developed cavities.

• Anyone who tends to get cavities easily, even with good oral hygiene.

How’s the Process? Does It Hurt?

Don’t worry—it’s quick, easy, and completely painless! Here’s how it works:

1. First, the dentist cleans the tooth to make sure it’s free from plaque.

2. A special liquid is applied to help the tooth surface bond with the sealant.

3. The sealant is then painted onto the chewing surface of the molar.

4.  A special light is used to harden the sealant and lock it in place.

The whole process takes less than 30 minutes—no fuss, no drama!

How Long Does It Last?

With proper care, a pit fissure sealant can last several years. Still, it’s a good idea to have it checked regularly during dental visits, just in case any part of it needs to be reapplied.

Why Sealants?

• Reduces the risk of cavities by up to 80%

• Protects the most cavity-prone areas of the teeth

• Non-invasive—no drills or needles

• More affordable than treating cavities later on

So, When’s the Best Time to Get a Sealant?

The sooner, the better! Ideally, sealants are applied as soon as the permanent molars have fully erupted and before any decay has started. So go ahead—bring your little one to SmileXpress for a check-up and see if it’s sealant time!
