Fissure Sealants
Sealing the chewing surfaces of your children’s teeth with a hard, permanent resin protects them from decay and the need for fillings. Safe, effective and painless to apply, fissure sealants can be applied as soon as possible after teeth erupt.
Periodontal (Gum) Disease
More teeth are lost in the UK through gum disease than through decay. The best way to stop this happening to your teeth is to keep them completely clean. We’ll help you keep your gums healthy with regular check-ups, scaling and polishing. Further treatments with antibiotic pastes and gels, and antiseptic chips are available if needed.
