Fissure Sealants

Fissure sealants are a preventive plastic coating applied to the grooves and valleys (fissures) on the biting surfaces of newly erupted molar teeth in young children. These are used to PREVENT decay, so we want to seal the teeth soon after they erupt.

Dental Care for Children

One of the best gifts we can give our children is the gift of “natural teeth for life”. Natural teeth are by far the best option in terms of dental function. Almost anyone who has had to have dentures will tell you that they wished they had looked after their own teeth better. Your dental team is here to support you in this.

Dental Treatment Planning

Treatment planning always starts with a thorough check-up/examination, usually supported by x-rays, in order to diagnose existing problems or issues. Some treatments will be quite urgent and need to be attended to as a priority. Others will be identified as part of your ongoing dental maintenance programme and can be planned and attended to over a more extended period of time.

Regular Checkups and Examinations

Looking after your teeth follows a very simple concept – prevention is better than cure. Unfortunately, many of us do not appreciate the value of our teeth until they are in need of repair or removal. Teeth don’t grow back! In a perfect world, your teeth would last you for your entire life, and one of the most effective ways of achieving this is to have regular dental check-ups.
