What's Included
Treatments & procedures
Click any treatment to see when it's recommended. Every option is explained clearly before we proceed.
Dental Check-ups
Six-monthly clinical examinations to assess teeth, gums, bite and jaw development — identifying concerns early, before they progress into problems that require more involved treatment.
Professional Cleaning & Scaling
Removal of plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces and the gum margin using professional instruments — areas that brushing and flossing alone cannot adequately clean.
Fluoride Therapy
Professional fluoride application — varnish, gel or foam — to remineralise enamel and significantly reduce caries risk. The AAPD recommends fluoride application at every check-up from the time the first teeth appear.
Pit & Fissure Sealants
Thin resin coatings applied to the deep grooves of back teeth where most cavities begin. A Cochrane systematic review (2017) found sealants reduce caries in permanent molars by up to 73% compared to no sealant.
Oral Hygiene Instruction
Age-appropriate, personalised guidance on correct brushing technique, toothpaste selection, flossing and tongue cleaning — tailored to the child's developmental stage and current oral hygiene habits.
Dietary Counselling
Practical, family-friendly guidance on foods and drinks that protect or harm teeth — with realistic advice on managing sugar frequency without rigid dietary restrictions that families cannot sustain.
Signs your child may need this treatment
- Your child has not had fluoride treatment
- Deep grooves visible on back teeth (prone to trapping food)
- History of cavities in the family
- Your child consumes sugary foods or drinks regularly
- You want to establish good oral health habits early
Why this treatment matters
Preventive care significantly reduces the likelihood of cavities, gum disease and the need for more involved treatments later. It is the most effective and least stressful approach to maintaining a child's dental health.
