At Sherwood Smiles, we provide a comprehensive range of preventive dental services to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums at every stage of life. Our approach focuses on early detection, prevention and personalised oral health care to reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease and support long-term oral health.
Regular dental examinations help detect concerns early and monitor your oral health over time. During your check-up, we assess the teeth for decay, evaluate gum health, check bite and jaw function, and review oral hygiene habits.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps protect against tooth decay. Professional fluoride applications can remineralise weakened enamel, slow early decay and provide added protection for both children and adults.
Fissure sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where grooves can trap plaque and bacteria. They are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, helping reduce the risk of cavities in hard-to-clean areas.
Healthy gums are essential for supporting the teeth. We monitor for early signs of gum disease and provide preventive care, personalised guidance and, where needed, professional cleaning below the gumline (scaling and root planing) for higher-risk patients.
Good oral health starts at home. We provide tailored guidance on effective brushing and flossing, appropriate oral care products and lifestyle factors such as diet that influence dental health.
We aim to make dental visits positive and comfortable for children while building healthy habits early. Our team provides gentle, child-friendly check-ups and cleans, guidance on brushing, flossing and diet, protective treatments such as fluoride and fissure sealants, and support for families eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
Your child’s visit includes a gentle dental examination to check their teeth, gums and developing bite, followed by a light clean where needed to remove plaque. If appropriate, we may recommend fluoride or fissure sealants to help protect growing teeth. We’ll also share practical tips with both you and your child to support healthy habits at home.

Preventative dentistry focuses on keeping teeth and gums healthy and detecting problems early. At Sherwood Smiles, this includes regular check-ups, professional teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants and personalised oral health advice to help reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Most patients benefit from a preventive check-up and professional clean every six months. However, the ideal interval varies depending on your oral health, risk factors and gum health. Your dentist will recommend a personalised recall schedule to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Your visit typically includes a comprehensive examination of the teeth, gums and jaw, along with a professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar. Where appropriate, we may recommend fluoride or fissure sealants and provide tailored advice to support your oral health at home.
Fluoride and fissure sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults can also benefit in certain situations. Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and protect against decay, while fissure sealants protect the deep grooves of back teeth that are harder to clean.
