As the old saying goes, prevention is better than a cure. At Happy Smiles For Kids we would like to identify factors that are contributing to the problem(s) and take preventive measures. There are a variety of factors that can be undertaken to aid with improving long term behaviour and comfort with being in the dental environment i.e. familiarisation techniques, and measures taken to prevent decay from developing. Depending on your child’s requirements, regular appointments may be recommended more regularly than six or twelve-month intervals. Management recommendations are made according to evidence-based publications—which include but are not limited to:
- Fissure sealants
- Remineralisation therapy i.e. fluoride applications
