What is a Dental Fissure Sealant?

7 Oct 2021 A fissure sealant is a thin, protective coating made from a tooth-coloured resin material. It is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth—the molars and premolars—specifically into the deep grooves (fissures) and small hollows (pits) where decay often begins. Just as every person has a unique physical build, dental anatomy varies significantly between individuals. Some people have naturally deeper pits and fissures, which can make these teeth more susceptible to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria. Our dental practitioners or oral health therapists assess each patient’s teeth to determine if sealants are a suitable preventative measure.

Understanding and Managing Dental Anxiety

5 Oct 2021 Dental anxiety describes the feelings of apprehension or stress some individuals experience in a dental setting. These concerns vary between patients; they may stem from previous clinical experiences, a sensitivity to certain stimuli, or a general sense of unease regarding dental treatment. When anxiety leads to the avoidance of dental care, it can impact long-term oral health. At Bond St, we focus on providing a supportive clinical environment where patients feel heard and their concerns are addressed through open communication.

Understanding Tooth Enamel Loss and Preservation

1 Oct 2021 Tooth enamel is the outermost layer of the tooth—the visible part that protects the inner structures. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, designed to shield the more vulnerable layers underneath. Maintaining a healthy layer of enamel is essential for supporting tooth strength and reducing the risk of sensitivity, fractures, and decay.
