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.
Why Dental Sealants Matter
Dental sealants add an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
Prevents Cavities: Shields teeth from food particles and bacteria that cause decay.
Protects Enamel: Seals deep grooves where brushing can’t always reach.
Long-Lasting Protection: Provides years of defense against plaque buildup.
Quick and Painless: The application process is fast, comfortable, and requires no drilling or numbing.
What to Expect During Sealant Application
Our gentle and easy process makes getting sealants stress-free for children and parents alike.
