Orthodontic Dental Hygiene Treatments
We offer a specialized and gentle treatment designed specifically for patients with braces. During the treatment, we may use disclosing dye to show the age and distribution of biofilm (plaque). We will provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to effectively clean and maintain healthy teeth, including various toothbrushing techniques and dietary advice. Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Oral Hygiene Coaching
During a Dental Health Coaching session, we aim to make dental plaque removal an easy and manageable task for your child. Instead of considering it as a daily chore, we will show your child how to effectively clean their teeth at home. Our coaching session will provide them with practical techniques that are easy to follow and incorporate into their daily routine.

Children’s Biofilm Monitoring
Phase contrast microscopy can be used as a gentle educational tool to help children better understand their oral health in a fun, visual way. By viewing live biofilm from their own mouth on-screen, children can clearly see the bacteria and plaque that brushing and flossing are designed to remove.
This interactive approach often increases motivation, improves brushing habits, and helps children feel more involved in their dental care journey — without fear, pressure, or invasive treatment.
Biofilm monitoring is used to support:
* Better brushing and flossing habits* Early prevention and education* Reduced plaque build-up around developing teeth* Positive long-term oral health behaviour

Fissure Sealants
What Are Fissure Sealants and How Do They Work?
Fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect your teeth from decay. These sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars). The grooves and pits on these surfaces, known as fissures, can be challenging to clean thoroughly with a toothbrush, making them prone to trapping food particles and bacteria. Over time, this can lead to cavities.
By applying a sealant, we effectively “seal” these grooves, creating a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. This barrier helps prevent bacteria and food particles from getting stuck and causing decay. The procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive, making it an excellent option for children and adults alike.
