Treatments - Children's Dentistry

New parents often have questions regarding the care and management of their children's teeth.

When should you start brushing? What kind of toothpaste is best? When should you go to the dentist?

Knowing the answers to these questions can help you to keep your kids' teeth healthy and cavity-free.

We offer a wide range of treatments for children. Preventative advice, dietary advice and optimum home care of your child’s teeth along with preventative techniques at the practice (fluoride gel application and fissure sealing teeth) promotes a lifetime of healthy teeth, healthy smiles and healthy living.

We advise a 3monthly fluoride application for children which gets automatically sent out to you through the post. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in foods and drinks such as fish and tea. It is also present in varying concentrations in all natural water.

The dentist or hygienist will apply a topical fluoride varnish during dental visits. These gels are more concentrated than those found naturally or in toothpaste, so they are not needed as frequently. Fluoride gels can help to reduce dental decay and make your child’s teeth stronger.
