Fluoride Treatments
We recommend regular fluoride treatments for children and young adults up to the age of 21.

Fissure Sealants
The biting surfaces of molars are covered in grooves, otherwise known as pits and fissures. Molars, which have deep fissures, are very prone to developing cavities as food particles, bacteria and acids can be trapped within these grooves.
Fissure sealants are a preventative treatment, which 'seals out decay'. The pits and fissures are sealed with a white resin which is totally painless, cosmetically pleasing and only takes a few minutes for your Dentist to apply. They are extremely successful for newly erupted teeth, which have not been exposed to the oral extremities. Therefore, sealants are a fantastic preventative measure against decay for children aged between 6 - 13 or once their teeth have erupted. Ask your Dentist for more information about fissure sealants.

Custom Athletic Mouth Guards
