Protecting your child’s teeth from decay requires more than just regular brushing and flossing. At Park Smiles, we offer dental sealants as an effective shield against cavities, particularly for those vulnerable back molars and premolars where decay often begins. In our Edison, NJ office, this quick, painless preventive dental procedure provides long-lasting protection that can significantly reduce your child’s risk of developing tooth decay.

Park Smiles’ Edison office specializes in pediatric and family dentistry, offering comprehensive preventive care including dental sealants for children and adults. With our dedicated team of dental professionals focused on patient comfort and personalized treatment, we provide the preventive treatments your family needs to maintain healthy, cavity-free smiles for years to come.

What Are Dental Sealants and How Do They Work?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings we apply to the chewing surfaces of teeth—typically the back molars and premolars—where decay most commonly occurs. These resin-based sealants bond to the deep grooves and depressions of your teeth, creating a smooth, protective barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from settling into these hard-to-reach areas.

The sealant material acts as a physical shield, blocking the acids produced by bacteria from attacking tooth enamel. This preventive dental treatment is particularly valuable for children and teenagers, as their newly erupted permanent molars are especially susceptible to decay. However, we also provide sealants for adults without fillings or decay in their molars as part of our comprehensive cavity prevention strategy.

When We Recommend Dental Sealants for Children

Timing is crucial when it comes to applying dental sealants for optimal protection. At Park Smiles, we recommend sealants once the permanent molars erupt. This typically happens around age 6 for first molars and around age 12 for second molars.

Early application ensures maximum protection during the cavity-prone years of childhood and adolescence. We may also recommend sealants for primary (baby) teeth if they have deep grooves or your child is particularly susceptible to tooth decay. Protecting these teeth is essential for proper spacing and guidance of permanent teeth.

Our Dental Sealant Application Process

Getting dental sealants at Park Smiles’ Edison location is a quick, comfortable procedure that takes just minutes per tooth with no drilling or removal of tooth structure required. Our painless process makes it ideal even for young children or those with dental anxiety.

Our application begins with thorough cleaning of the teeth to remove any plaque or food debris. After drying the tooth, we apply an etching solution that creates a slightly roughened surface to help the sealant bond securely. We then rinse and dry the tooth again before carefully painting the liquid sealant material onto the chewing surface. Finally, we harden the sealant using a special curing light, creating an immediate protective barrier.

Safety of Our Dental Sealants

Parents often have questions about the safety of dental materials we use in their children’s mouths. The dental sealants we use at Park Smiles are BPA-free and have been demonstrated to be both safe and effective. Following the endorsement of the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we use sealants as a safe, important component of preventive dental care for children.

The minimal amount of material used poses no health concerns, and the benefits of preventing tooth decay far outweigh any theoretical risks. Our Park Smiles team can address any specific concerns about dental materials during your consultation.

Dental Sealants vs. Fillings: Prevention vs. Restoration

While both dental sealants and fillings involve placing materials in teeth, they serve fundamentally different purposes. Sealants are purely preventive, creating a barrier before decay can start. Fillings, meanwhile, are restorative treatments used after a cavity has already damaged tooth structure.

At Park Smiles, we believe prevention through sealants is always preferable to needing fillings. Sealants are less invasive, preserve all natural tooth structure, cost less than fillings, and help avoid the discomfort associated with developing cavities. Think of sealants as an investment in your child’s future dental health that can save significant time, money, and potential discomfort down the road.

Long-Term Benefits of Our Dental Sealants

Our dental sealants provide impressive protection against tooth decay, with studies showing they reduce cavity risk in permanent molars by up to 80% in the first two years and continue providing protection for up to a decade. During regular dental checkups at Park Smiles in Edison, we evaluate the condition of existing sealants and recommend touch-ups if needed.

This preventive treatment offers compelling cost benefits as well. The affordable one-time cost of sealants is significantly less than treating multiple cavities over time. Many dental insurance plans cover sealants for children as part of preventive care, making them an accessible option for protecting your child’s oral health.
