Best Fissure Sealants in Bangalore — Bracestation Dental Clinic
1. What are fissure sealants, and how do they work?
Fissure sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These teeth have deep grooves (fissures) that are hard to clean and prone to decay. The sealant acts as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling in and causing cavities.
2. Who needs fissure sealants?
Sealants are highly recommended for:
- Children as soon as their permanent molars erupt (around ages 6 and 12)
- Teens prone to cavities
- Adults with deep grooves or a history of tooth decay
It’s a smart preventive option for anyone looking to reduce their risk of cavities.
3. How is the fissure sealant procedure done at Bracestation?
Applying sealants is quick, painless, and non-invasive:
- The tooth is cleaned and dried.
- A special gel is applied to roughen the surface.
- The gel is rinsed off, and the tooth is dried again.
- The sealant material is applied and hardened using a curing light.
The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth.
4. How long do fissure sealants last?
Sealants can last 5 to 10 years with proper care. During your regular dental visits, we’ll check their condition and reapply them if necessary.
5. Are fissure sealants safe?
Yes, sealants are completely safe and widely recommended by dental associations. They’re made from biocompatible materials and are especially beneficial for kids who are still developing good brushing habits.
6. Do sealants replace brushing and flossing?
No—sealants are a supplement, not a substitute. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are still essential for a healthy smile.
7. What are the benefits of fissure sealants?
- Reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80%
- Simple, painless, and quick application
- Long-lasting protection for vulnerable back teeth
- Ideal for children and adults with deep grooves
8. Can sealants be applied over early cavities?
In some cases, yes. If the decay is very shallow, a sealant can be used to stop it from progressing. Your dentist will evaluate whether this is appropriate.
9. Is the application process painful?
Not at all. There’s no drilling, no injections, and no discomfort involved. It’s one of the easiest ways to protect your teeth long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about orthodontic care at Bracestation. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact our team.
What is the best age to get braces?
While orthodontic treatment can be effective at any age, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early intervention can guide proper jaw growth and prevent more serious problems later. However, many patients get braces during their teenage years, and adult orthodontics is increasingly common with about 25% of orthodontic patients being adults.
How long do I need to wear braces?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on individual needs, complexity of the case, and treatment method. On average, most patients wear braces for 18-24 months. Some minor corrections may take as little as 6 months, while more complex cases might require up to 3 years of treatment. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.
Do braces hurt?
Patients typically experience some discomfort when braces are first placed and after adjustment appointments. This discomfort usually lasts for 3-5 days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Modern orthodontic techniques and materials have significantly reduced the level of discomfort compared to braces from previous decades.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
With braces, you should avoid hard foods (nuts, ice, hard candy), sticky foods (caramel, taffy, chewing gum), and foods that require biting into (apples, corn on the cob, carrots). These restrictions help prevent damage to the brackets and wires. You'll receive a comprehensive list of foods to avoid during your treatment.
What's the difference between traditional braces and clear aligners?
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth, while clear aligners like Invisalign use a series of transparent, removable trays. Braces are fixed and cannot be removed until treatment is complete, while aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning. Braces may be more effective for complex cases, while aligners offer aesthetic advantages and easier maintenance. Your orthodontist will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
How do I care for my braces?
Proper care includes brushing after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily with a floss threader or water flosser, avoiding restricted foods, wearing rubber bands as directed, and attending all scheduled adjustment appointments. Good oral hygiene is crucial to prevent cavities and gum problems during orthodontic treatment.
Will I need to wear a retainer after braces?
Yes, wearing a retainer after braces is essential to maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment. Without a retainer, teeth tend to shift back toward their original positions. Initially, you may need to wear your retainer full-time, gradually transitioning to nighttime wear only. Some patients may need to wear retainers indefinitely to maintain their results.
