We encourage parents & guardians to bring their children to the dentist every 6 months as soon as they get their first teeth.

 

This allows us to familiarise children with our team, environment, sights and sounds of the Dental Practice. Almost all of our team are mums who are used to and are very comfortable dealing with children. We’re skilled at putting them at ease and explaining things using language appropriate to the child’s age. By attending early, and regularly, they grow up, as many of our patients have, with no fear of the dentist at all.

​

Visiting the dentist regularly allows us to offer advice and identify any potential problems as early as possible, and if necessary to take preventative action.

Fissure sealants

Deep pits and grooves can be found on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Such pits and grooves are termed ‘fissures’ and are usually so narrow that toothbrush bristles are not able to clean them effectively. These form a favourable environment for bacteria to flourish, often resulting in tooth decay. A fissure sealant will seal the chewing tooth surface, helping to prevent decay.
