We will probably recommend regular fluoride treatments which will strengthen enamel and help your child’s teeth resist decay.
Dental Sealants
 Dental Sealants are used to protect the chewing surfaces of the child's back teeth. Dental Sealants are clear or shaded plastic materials that can be painted onto these decay-prone surfaces of the teeth.
The back teeth surfaces often decay because they contain pits and fissures---tiny grooves and depressions---where plaque accumulates.
Dental sealants can provide a further layer of protection against cavities. They are plastic coatings which are painted onto the grooved chewing surfaces at the back of the teeth. By forming a thin covering over the pits and fissures, the sealants keep plaque and food out of the crevices in the teeth, reducing the risk of decay. Sealants should be applied as the permanent teeth erupt. Ask us if your child can benefit from sealants.

Sweets, Ice creams, chocolate, cakes and fizzy drinks can cause tremendous amount of oral health problems in you infant teeth and as well in adults teeth. Many factors determine how foods affect your child's teeth. The more often your child snacks on foods containing sugars and starches, the greater the chance for tooth decay. Food such as hard candy and breath mints stay in the mouth a long time, leading to extended acid attacks on the teeth. Physical characteristics of the food. Raisins, cookies, dried fruits and cereals tend to stick to the teeth and prolong the acid attack. Foods eaten just before bedtime can stay on the teeth throughout the night.
