Fluoride is a natural element proven to help prevent tooth decay. It strengthens enamel, reduces mineral loss, promotes remineralization, and helps control harmful bacteria in the mouth.

Professional fluoride varnish can be applied from the eruption of the first tooth, typically around 6 months of age, and is especially beneficial for children at risk of tooth decay. For optimal results, fluoride treatments are recommended every 3–6 months throughout childhood to keep teeth strong and cavity-free.

Fissure sealants protect the grooved and pitted surfaces of teeth — especially the chewing surfaces of the back teeth — where food and bacteria easily accumulate. Made from a clear or tooth-coloured resin, sealants act as a protective barrier to help keep your child’s teeth cavity-free.

When properly cared for, sealants can last for many years, and in most cases, they only need to be applied once, providing long-term protection for your child’s growing smile.

Poor oral habits such as tongue thrusting, reverse swallowing, mouth breathing, and thumb sucking are proven causes of teeth crowding and jaw imbalance. At Little GiGi, we focus on identifying and correcting these habits early, often preventing the need for braces later. By addressing the root causes, we allow teeth to develop and align naturally, supporting proper jaw growth and a healthier, more balanced smile.

Mouth guards provide essential protection for children who grind their teeth (bruxism) or clench their jaws, helping to prevent wear and strain on the teeth and jaw muscles. The right mouth guard is custom-made after careful evaluation and becomes an important part of your child’s ongoing dental care.

They are also recommended for active children involved in sports, as athletic mouth guards can significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries and keep growing smiles safe during play.
