Oral Spring Cleaning at My Local Dentists Northmead
The daylight hours are getting longer and the weather is warming up. Spring is finally here, summer is on the way, and for many of us that means spring cleaning time!

Dental Sealants – An Answer At All Ages
Cavities are more common than many other childhood ailments, and they can cause a range of other problems as well. That’s why many dental professionals recommend that children receive dental sealants to protect against decay. Dental sealants give parents peace of mind by protecting their children’s teeth.
The most likely location for a cavity to develop in your child’s mouth is on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. These surfaces are filled with tiny grooves that trap bacteria and food particles. A toothbrush can’t always reach these dark, moist little crevices. This creates the perfect conditions for tooth decay.
