At Liverpool Dental Spa, we aim to encourage healthy habits from an early age. We offer a comprehensive range of children’s dental services and we are always on hand to offer advice to help children achieve confident and happy smiles and remain free of troublesome cavities and toothache.
Oral health should be a priority for children and we are eager to provide care for children from an early age in order to reduce the risk of oral health diseases and promote good oral health habits as early as possible. Research confirms that children who see a dentist on a regular basis are less likely to experience dental difficulties in childhood and adulthood than those who rarely see a dentist.
Our routine check-ups are designed to be simple, pain-free and quick and we go the extra mile to help children learn and to ensure that they have lots of fun while they are with us. We chat to kids about their teeth and gums and why it is important to look after them and we explain why it’s necessary to go to the dentist every six months. We will always be happy to answer questions and we can also offer advice to parents with regard to diet and nutrition and oral hygiene at home.
In addition to routine dental check-ups and treatment for issues, such as cavities, we also offer preventative dental services for children, including fluoride varnish and fissure sealant treatment. Both these treatments, which are completely painless, are effective measures for fighting tooth decay.
Decay is one of the most common preventable childhood illnesses and these preventative measures can really make a difference. Fluoride varnish treatment is incredibly simple and we apply the varnish to the surface of the teeth; it helps to make the enamel stronger and to offer protection from plaque acids. Fissure sealant treatment involves creating a plastic sealant, which forms a protective cover over the surface of the tooth to prevent bacteria and food getting trapped in the pits and cracks, which are known as fissures. The process is simple and it only takes a few minutes.
