Pits & Fissure Sealants

Pits the small pin point depressions and fissures deep grove on the upper surface of some teeth , are difficult to maintain clean especially by children. Inability to properly clean , quite often added with the improper brushing techniques of children makes these areas susceptible to caries . Pit & Fissure sealants provide protective coverings in such areas

Cements & Fillings

Dental Restoration in Kid

While Pit & Fissure Sealants act and help before initiation of Dental Caries by providing a protective barrier , but once a cavity has been formed due to demineralization of tooth action by the acidic action of Bacteria, simple sealants cant be used. Special dental cements and fillings materials are used as restorative materials need to be used, to stop the further spread and arrest the caries. 

Endodontic Treatments for Kids

One of the most common reasons for of tooth pain in children is progress of caries into the deeper soft tissue of the tooth. As a parent you might notice
