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.

Commission rejects proposal
ject to Indian fisheries in the
Columbia and! Deshcutes rivers.
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

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
