Our Dentists aim to prevent dental disease rather than treat it at a later date.

Fluoride applications and fissure sealants (tooth coloured sealants) are applied to biting surfaces of children's teeth to prevent decay.

Here's how it works:

Your child's dentist will give your child safety goggles and a bib, and tell them what they are going to do.
They will carefully examine the inside and outside of your child's mouth to check for any abnormalities, illnesses or decay that may men treatment should be postponed.
The dentist will then carefully paint the varnish on to your child's teeth, starting at the back and working forward.
Your child should not eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after application, and should not brush their teeth until the next day.

Strengthens tooth enamel, helping to prevent decay and thus fillings or tooth loss.

Helps give your child positive early experiences of visiting the dentist, and helps them learn good oral healthcare.
