Advice

Establishing a good dental routine is important.

Babies should be introduced to twice daily brushing, good diet and regular visits to the dentist, even before they need treatment.

Savoury foods should be encouraged and sugary snacks should be avoided between meals. How often sugar is consumed is more important than the amount.

See examples below.

Treatment

Prevention – we try to prevent cavities forming with appropriate dietary advice, applications and advice on fluoride treatments and sealants.

We are able to deal with simple restorations through to the management and treatment of complex dental problems as well as patients who have had previous treatment difficulties or medical problems.

It is possible to continue treatment with the ‘in house’ orthodontists.

There are relatively few children’s specialists, so we are very fortunate to have Dr Evelyn Sheehy working with us on Saturdays. Our other dentists can take care of simple treatments and emergencies on weekdays.
