Description
Fissure sealants protect children’s molars from decay by sealing deep grooves, recommended for kids aged 6–14 in China; cost ranges ¥200–¥500 per tooth with ChinaMedicalHub assisting hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Pit and fissure sealants are primarily used to prevent tooth decay in the deep grooves and pits of molars and premolars. They are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, but can also be used for adults who are at high risk of developing cavities. This procedure is commonly recommended as part of a comprehensive dental care plan to protect teeth from decay.
Normal Range
