This young patient was brought in by mum for a routine check-up and clean appointment. Mum had mentioned she was worried about the effectiveness of this young patient’s toothbrushing. Examination revealed plaque retention in the fissure of the upper first permanent molar. A glass ionomer fissure sealant was placed to remineralize the enamel and protect this tooth from tooth decay. Quick and easy, mum and patient happy.
