c Page 8 AUGUST 16,1985 } S pilyay T ymoo What aré pit and fissure sealants? by Sandy Boers ,IHS Dental Hygeinist O ften, when a child comes into our clinic for a routine exam , we will suggest that cer tain teeth be treated with, P it and Fissure Sealants, Usually, these teeth have either nothing w rong with them or they are ju st beginning to decay.. W hat, then, are pit and fissure sealants? W hy is it necessary to treat healthy teeth with them? P it and fissure sealants are thin plastic coatings th a t cover and protect the chewing sur faces of back teeth. These are the surfaces m ost likely to decay because they contain small pits and narrow grooves (fissures). F ood and germs get into the grooves and cannot be com pletely removed by brushing, flossing or other’ oral hygiene measures. As a result, the pits and grooves becom e, breeding g ro u n d s fo r d e c a y -c a u sin g germs. Sealants close off these areas so that food particles and germs are unable to settle in. 8 Ideally, sealants are applied j o the perm anent m olars just after they’ve erupted, before they have gotten a chance to decay. Because of this, children between the ages of five and fourteen b en efit m o st fro m sealan ts. Applying $ealants is a very easy procedure. T otal treatm ent time is about twenty minute's and does not require any num bing o r d rillin g . O nce in p la ce ; sealants can be seen ,if the back teeth are examined closely. How ever, they will not be seen when your child-talks or smiles. Sealants, should be checked once a year to m ake sure th at they h aven’t ’ w orn off. Wiiile ' sealants aren ’s perm anent, they should retnain in place ldng enough to get your child through their cavify-prone years. Re member, sealants are good, but they’re better when they are made a .p a rt of a total preven tive dental program th at in cludes: Brushing and flossing; regular dental check-ups; good nutrition.

Bakke noted that the Deschutes is now m anaged for wild steel head. This means th at sports men fishing the river must release wild fish but may keep hatchery stock. Since steelhead from the W hite River would propogate naturally, and therefore lack hatchery marks, anglers would also be required to release them. Because of this, wrote Bakke in testim ony subm itted in ad vance, “We anticipate th at the Commission will eventually be visted with a request to aban don wild steelhead management oh the Deschutes so th at sports fishermen can harvest unmarked W hite Rlvier steelhead in the Deschutes. Bakke encouraged the Com mission not to feel compelled to adopt the proposal on the grounds th at the $500,000 already spent? would otherwise be wasted. Those funds provided information needed for an informed decision, and they alsd/produced valuable ge netic data, he said. Harry Wagner, chief of fisheries for O D FW , responded to some of Bakke’s arguments. In par ticular* he rem inded the com missioners th at half of the Co lumbia Basin’s spawning grounds for anadrom ous fish have been eliminated by dams; therefore, it is appropriate to introduce salmon ana steelhead into waters where they did not occur his torically. Com missioner W illiam Neel expressed several reservations about the project. He was con cerned th at funds-for operation and m aintenance would require periodic approval by Congress. He d idn’t believe every stream should become an anadrom ous fish hatchery. And he wondered whether the-$4.3 million might be spent on a more significant project in the Deschutes system, such as successfully laddering Billy C h in o o k D am , w hich has elimiated access of anadromous fish from hundreds',of miles of historic spawning habitat on the 'Deschutes, M etolius and Crooked rivers. Jo h n D onaldson, director of O D FW , told the Commission ¿hat th e W hite River project was one of many peices, but a significant one, in the Power Council’s grand plan to re-estab lish fish runs in the Columbia Basin. The seven commissioners were then polled on their positions. They rejected the W hite River Falls project b y a vote of four to three.
