Tooth decay doesn’t get better. It only gets worse.
What's the good news? This is absolutely preventable.
Here’s why you should take care of that cavity sooner than later.
Pit and fissures are naturally occurring depressions and grooves in posterior human teeth.
Decay in these pits and fissures accounts to about 90% of total decay in permanent teeth and 44% in milk teeth.
This is absolutely preventable by the application of pit and fissure sealants.
The goal is to seal the deep fissures inaccessible to the toothbrush bristles and make that area accessible to cleaning.
