  • Discuss preventive techniques including fissure sealing of molar teeth and fluoride applications to help keep your children’s teeth strong
  • A demonstration on correct tooth brushing technique.

Fissure Sealants in Bendigo

Fissure sealants are a simple and effective way of protecting young teeth from decay. The grooves in children’s teeth are often one of the most difficult areas to keep clean. As the grooves are deep, they can be difficult to reach with a toothbrush.

As a means of protecting the teeth, your dentist /dental therapist will clean the grooves thoroughly and then seal over with a coating. The fissure sealant protects the tooth by preventing any future bacteria from settling in the hard to reach grooves.

Oral Hygiene

Teaching our child good habits of brushing and flossing, and minimizing sugar and eating healthy are vital in our children’s growth.

As parents we need to help our child brush their teeth until they are old enough to brush by themselves. Once they are brushing on their own, a twice daily brushing habit with a soft tooth brush will help to keep them cavity free with healthy gums.

Just like adults, we recommend regular 6 monthly check-ups. The check-ups will assess that the teeth are healthy and all growing correctly.
