Dental decay and subsequent fillings are not inevitable!

If you have a high rate of dental decay, Stella Maris Dental would recommend the following:

• Brush twice a day with a toothbrush containing fluoride and an anti-bacterial agent
• Reduce the frequency of your sugar intake
• Reduce the frequency of your fizzy/diet drink intake
• Attend for regular dental check-ups and dental hygienist visits; at least every six months.

Stella Maris Dental will assist you by:

• Carrying out simple yet effective modern diagnostic tests to assess your caries susceptibility
• Assessing your dental decay risk based on past and present decay
• Treating your existing decay painlessly
• Investigating your diet
• Giving you dietary and cleaning (oral hygiene) advice
• Applying topical fluoride where appropriate
• Coating unfilled teeth with fissure sealants
• Planning further check-ups and X-rays at appropriate intervals based on your dental decay risk
