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.
​
