When my child was six years old, he listened to the dentist's propaganda and went for pit and fissure sealing. He usually insists on brushing his teeth in the morning and evening, but now the situation is that the teeth with pit and fissure sealing are seriously decayed, while the teeth without pit and fissure sealing are healthy!
I'm confused. After careful consideration, it is found that the root cause of serious dental caries is pit and fissure sealing technology!
The reasons are as follows: For teeth with pit and fissure sealing, a layer of adhesive resin is coated on the occlusal surface of the teeth, and pit and fissure sealant forms a protective barrier to prevent pit and fissure from being eroded from the beginning. However, with the passage of time, there will gradually be a gap between the pit and fissure sealant and the tooth surface, and children can't brush the gap between the pit and fissure sealant when brushing their teeth, so tooth decay occurs in this gap and becomes more and more serious because they can't brush their teeth.
Therefore, based on my real experience, I tell you never to let your child do pit and fissure sealing, and insist on brushing your teeth for more than three minutes every morning and evening, especially at night.
Usually insist on not eating sugar, not drinking carbonated drinks, gargling after three meals, and not eating food after brushing your teeth at night. In the long run, you are bound to have a pair of white and healthy teeth!
