Sealants

Sealants Berwyn Dental Connection

Sealants are highly effective in preventing tooth decay and cavities on your molars and premolars. These areas are the most susceptible to cavities due to the anatomized grooves.

Typically, children get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in. These sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.

The process of applying sealants is easy and fast. The application steps are as follows:

  • A thorough cleaning is done
  • Each tooth is then dried
  • A solution is put on the chewing surfaces of the teeth to help the sealant bond to the teeth
  • The sealant is painted onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens.

Sealants act as a barrier and protect the enamel from plaque and acids. They may last for several years before a reapplication is needed. As long as the sealant remains intact, the tooth surface will be protected from decay.

Sealants are not a substitute for brushing your teeth. It is important to maintain proper oral hygiene and keep up with professional dental cleanings. Also, sealants do not protect between the teeth, so it is essential to continue to floss daily.

I have been a patient at Berwyn Dental Connection for about a year- but what a year it was! The team in this office is so fantastic! They are kind, professional, warm, intelligent, and care for their patients. Dr. Peralta-Sugano has gotten me through infections, an extraction, a dental implant, and an after-hours emergency appointment because I was in so much pain over the holidays. Veronica and Bianca are so kind, responsive, and friendly. I'm thankful to have established care at such an exceptional dental office.

I came for my first visit yesterday my experience was great from the check in to my visit with the dental assistant to the dentist. The friendly atmosphere and customer service is something that is hardly seen. The dental assistant explained what she was going to do before doing it and as much, as I hate full mouth xrays she took her time and made sure that I was as comfortable as possible during the xray. The dentist explained what she was examining and what it meant. While doing my cleaning they made sure I was comfortable through out the whole procedure and as soon as I felt discomfort went to hand scaling. Overall great experience is not so often that dentist do a hand scaling usually now a days dentist prefer to work on your mouth using nothing but the motorized equipment as fast as they can and a dental cleaning can become painful that way...if your looking for the whole package come here you will not regret it.

Dr. Lares and her team have changed my outlook on going to the dentist. Before I started seeing her, I dreaded going even for cleanings. This office takes such great care to create a relaxing, welcoming environment that I’ve almost fallen asleep in the chair during cleanings, which I now think of as a spa day for my mouth. Dr. Lares is a great dentist, and while I still hate the drill and Novocain shots, she makes fillings much less stressful for me. I’m so grateful she’s in Berwyn!

Dental work can be a bit intimidating. However, at Berwyn Dental Connection the entire process is professional and calming. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the staff are very personable from the front desk to the dental hygienist and even the doctors! I received a root canal performed by Dr. Lares and she and her assistant made me feel comfortable. Overall, the entire staff are professional and skilled, I'd definitely recommend.
