Check-up

Fissure sealants
These sealants are thin coatings which are applied to pitted areas on the chewing surfaces of children’s teeth to protect them from decay.
Mouthguards
it is important for all children & adults to wear mouthguards when playing sports to protect their teeth, lips, tongue & jaw. It is best to have it custom made by the dentist to ensure it fits well.
Fluoride treatment
Topical fluoride treatment is applied to teeth to give teeth a chance to re-mineralize. It is a concentrated fluoride which gives your teeth the necessary materials to renew its damaged structures, makes teeth more resistant to acid & reduces your risk to tooth decay.
