Child care

 

We understand the importance of educating children towards good oral healthcare, therefore we offer free check ups for children under 16.

Sealant for permanent teeth - A dental sealant is a plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molar  teeth. Grooves in these teeth are so narrow that a toothbrush cannot fit into the spaces to remove plaque . Dental sealants prevent dental decay in the grooves. Sealants can provide 100% protection from dental decay or "cavities" on the chewing surface.  Children should receive sealants on permanent molars as soon as they erupt (about ages 6 and 12 years).

Fluoride Treatments - Fluoride is a major component in the prevention of childhood dental caries. This is because fluoride alters the molecular structure of the tooth, making it more resistant to acid attack and decay. However, children require the right balance of fluoride treatment. Too much fluoride could be problematic and lead to fluorosis.
