Teeth Sealants
Teeth sealants are one of the best ways to prevent tooth decay. These protective barriers are often used for children but can be applied for people of any age. With Dr. Chelsea Perry as head dentist, we at Elite Dental Care offer this service in the coziest setting in Westborough MA. Patients are greeted with complimentary beverages and warm scented towels for utmost comfort.
Since teeth sealants are used for protective purposes, they are usually applied to the set of teeth that are most prone to cavities. These teeth are the molars and premolars, which are used for chewing and grinding food. Sealants are applied in liquid form that hardens with the use of a special light. Dr. Perry and our staff at Elite Dental Care recommend that sealants be applied when the molars begin to appear so they’re protected early and greatly reduce the chance of acquiring cavities later on in life.
A child's permanent molars start to erupt from the gums between the ages of 5 and 7 years old, and a second set behind them between 11 and 14 years of age. Teeth sealants are therefore highly recommended for children and teenagers. At Elite Dental Care in Westborough MA, children are in for a treat with iPads in the waiting room and TVs in the operatories complete with Bose noise cancelling headphones. Dr. Perry knows the unique needs of children and makes sure that they’re well entertained, comfortable and relaxed.
Applying teeth sealants is a fairly simple process that requires no anesthesia or down time. Patients can immediately eat and drink after the teeth have been treated. Children tend to be restless so the process is also quick. Sealant application can be done in one visit so your child won’t feel stressed and obliged to visit his dentist.
