Why do children advocate pit and fissure sealing?

Pit and fissure sealing is a method to prevent dental caries, which is suitable for the occlusal surface of posterior teeth. Because the posterior teeth have the largest chewing area and the widest contact surface, food is easy to accumulate and not easy to clean, so it is easy to get dental caries. Pit and fissure sealing can effectively prevent food residues and bacteria from invading deep teeth, thus reducing the occurrence of dental caries.

In addition, pit and fissure sealing has the following advantages:

1. Painless treatment: pit and fissure sealing does not require anesthesia and will not bring pain to children.

2. Simple operation: the pit and fissure sealing only needs to coat a layer of resin on the tooth surface, and the whole process is simple and convenient.

3. Long-lasting and effective: the effect of pit and fissure sealing can last for many years or even for life.

4. Safe and harmless: the materials used for pit and fissure sealing are harmless to human body and will not affect children's health.

Therefore, promoting children to do pit and fissure sealing is to protect children's oral health and prevent dental caries.
