Dental Sealants in Milpitas

Dental sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. They are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where food and bacteria often get trapped. Because these grooves can be hard for children to clean thoroughly, sealants act as a barrier to keep out decay-causing plaque. At TeethBuddies Pediatric Dentistry, we provide safe, durable sealants that help keep your child’s smile strong and cavity-free.
