Preventative Oral Hygiene
At Notley Dental Care we offer preventative oral health care for children so that we can avoid tooth decay. Our aim is to build up trust with each child so that they will have a pleasant experience coming out from the dentist.
At each appointment our Hygienists and Therapists offer tooth brushing and flossing techniques for the children to learn and help to explain the causes of caries (tooth decay). At the end of the session, their clean teeth can be painted with fluoride varnish or gel according to the age of the child in order to harden the enamel thus preventing decay.
As adult teeth appear we offer Fissure Sealants to be placed. This is a plastic coating that is applied painlessly onto the biting surfaces of back teeth. It provides a smooth surface that is easy to keep clean and prevents a build up of bacteria filled plaque settling into the crevices of natural teeth causing decay.
