Dental Sealants Springfield, MA

Overview

Dental sealants are an easy treatment used to guard against cavities and decay beyond daily care, like flossing at home. They are a slim, pliable material that is applied to the tops of the back teeth (premolars and molars). After they are positioned, dental sealants block out food particles, bacteria, plaque, and tartar to further prevent many dental issues, including cavities. Sealants can last a long time if properly cared for with a good home oral hygiene routine. Sealants not only improve your oral hygiene and prevent cavities, but they can also save money at future dental examinations at People's Dental. Talk to our dental team during your examination in our Springfield, MA office to decide if sealants are needed for you or your child.

Best Candidates for Dental Sealants

The best candidates for dental sealants would be anyone who is prone to getting cavities or oral diseases. Most often, sealants are recommended for children and some teens who may have a more difficult time maintaining a good oral hygiene routine. Dental sealant application is a fast, simple treatment that usually requires no anesthesia or sedation, which makes it an easy procedure for all patients.

What to Expect

At your consultation, our team will first need to assess your teeth to determine if sealants are a good treatment for you. Prior to the actual application, your teeth will be cleaned and polished to remove tartar, plaque, and bacteria. Then we will use a brush to apply the sealant and set it with a special light. After the application, we will ensure that the sealant has settled into the correct position.

Experience there for the first time was great I was greeted by Julie at the front desk with a voice to light up anyone’s day and Dawn was very professional, as well made the process a bit easier with communicating with me. I would recommend anyone to go here .

Dawn is great, especially, with me…a very fearful dental patient! She had big shoes to fill, following Randi and Odessa, but she does not disappoint, she is great!!!!
