Sealants

At Toothbud Pediatric Dentistry, we offer both resin-based and glass ionomer sealants as effective preventive treatments to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars) where grooves and pits can trap food and bacteria. By sealing these vulnerable areas, sealants act as a barrier that helps prevent tooth decay.

Resin-based sealants are durable and long-lasting, ideal for patients who have excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.

Glass ionomer sealants release fluoride over time, providing additional protection and are often preferred for young children or those with higher cavity risk.

Both types of sealants are painless, quick to apply, and an important part of our minimally invasive approach to keeping your child’s smile healthy and cavity-free.

We will evaluate your child’s individual needs to determine the best sealant option for lasting protection.
