Children & Paediatric Dentistry
Our experienced team at Nostra Dental create a relaxed child-friendly environment for all our junior patients. We provide up-to-date and progressive dental care for children in a comfortable and calming atmosphere.
Nostra Dental is a family orientated dental practice, offering all treatments required for both primary teeth and permanent teeth in our junior patients.
As well as oral hygiene, teeth brushing and dietary advice, we provide paediatric dental treatments including Fissure Sealing, Flouride Varnish and Preventative Resin Restoration.
Fissure Sealing
If there are deep fissures on a child’s tooth, dental plaque can easily accumulate where the toothbrush bristles cannot access and clean these areas thoroughly. Therefore, these teeth are prone to tooth decay.
Fissure sealant is a tooth-coloured or transparent material, which is well adhered to the enamel of the tooth. Fissure sealant seals off the fissures of a tooth to prevent tooth decay by blocking the plaque bacteria in the fissures from getting access to the dietary sugars.
Fluoride Varnish
Fluoride Gel
This type of topical fluoride contains 12300ppm of fluoride. The dentist will put the fluoride gel onto a pre-formed dental tray and insert it into the patient’s mouth for 4 to 6 minutes, allowing the fluoride to penetrate into the teeth.
Fluoride Varnish
This type of topical fluoride contains 23000ppm of fluoride. It is often used to treat tooth decay at its initial stage. The varnish is applied directly on the affected tooth surfaces.
