OUR APPROACH
OUR SERVICES
Dental decay is a very common and preventable disease
Children develop dental anxiety for many reasons
Many children respond well to child friendly explanations and some patience and empathy
Dental decay is a very common and preventable disease.
Dental decay is a common but preventable disease
Fissure sealants are a method of preventing decay
Space maintainers are a type of interceptive orthodontics
Injuries to children’s teeth have some unique features which make them different to injures in adults
Although silver caps are an excellent approach to the management of decay and other problems with primary molars, some parents and children do not like the idea of silver crowns
Stainless Steel crowns have a long and reliable track record in the management of children’s teeth where there is deep decay, in molars with pulp therapy or where the enamel of the tooth is weak
When primary teeth become decayed, inflammatory changes may occur in the nerve of the tooth even though the tooth may not be painful
Front teeth are important for speech, eating, general social development and confidence
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition in which the bottom of the tongue is tethered to the floor of the mouth by a membrane (frenulum)
