Fissure Sealants and Fluoride Treatment – Extra Protection for Healthy Young Smiles
At Harris Park Dental, we offer fissure sealants and fluoride treatments as simple, effective ways to protect teeth—especially in children and teens—from decay. These preventive services are quick and painless and play a key role in long-term oral health.
Fissure sealants are thin coatings applied to the grooves of molars to block food and bacteria from getting trapped. Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks and early decay.
