Frequently Asked Questions
Space maintainers are dental tools designed to save the gap left by a lost primary tooth while facilitating the proper eruption of permanent teeth. Your child may require one if they lose a tooth ahead of schedule due to an accident or decay.
Indeed, dental sealants are both safe and effective in preventing dental issues. They offer protection to your child's molars against cavities without causing discomfort, and our team ensures prompt and gentle application.
Typically, fluoride treatments are recommended biannually; however, your child's specific needs might necessitate a different schedule. Our team will evaluate and advise you during appointments.
After receiving fluoride treatments, it is advisable for your child to refrain from eating or drinking for 30 minutes so that it can thoroughly absorb and reinforce their teeth.
Your child will be seated comfortably during a dental sealant application, and the dentist will thoroughly clean and dry the teeth prior to the sealant's application. The process is brief, straightforward, and usually completed in mere minutes.
