Paediatric Dentistry

Studies have shown that it is important to take your child to the dentist from an early age, even just for a check-up, so that they have a positive experience and grow up without being afraid of the dentist.

Fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to protect your growing child’s teeth and help prevent tooth decay. The fluoride is spread over the surface of the child’s teeth, mineralising them.

Sealants are applied to the biting surfaces of children’s teeth to prevent decay by stopping bacteria from entering the grooves of the tooth. The technique is extremely easy to carry out, quick and completely painless.

Taking your child to the dentist from an early age also allows the dentist to identify the first signs of problems, such as crossbites, or simply to monitor development. As with most things, the sooner a problem is addressed, the more quickly it can be resolved.
