Great service friendly and honest, value for money and customer care seems to be the main priority. I would highly recommend Little Aston Dental Care to anyone looking for a quality dentist Gurdev and the staff provide an excellent service.
HRDr Gurdev Talwar has three children of her own and has been treating children since 1997. Her caring, gentle and unrushed approach means, even nervous and apprehensive children feel relaxed and comfortable under care. She is proud to say with today’s, modern preventative techniques, “Children do not need to have injections or fillings!”
At our practice, we offer free examination to the children, whose parents are practice members. The exam includes checking for gum disease. This is important as gum disease can be inherited from parents, and early detection can prevent tooth loss. All treatments are discounted by 50%.
Correct oral hygiene techniques and diet advice is the key to help children keep their teeth for life. Gurdev uses a small camera to show the children their teeth and areas they may not be cleaning well and this helps with motivating good oral hygiene habits.
- Fissure Sealants
Fissure sealant is a white resin placed into the deep pits and fissures of back teeth. Some teeth have deep pits and fissures, which causes the back teeth to accumulate plaque. This plaque can cause decay and the need for fillings. By sealing the back teeth, you can avoid the need for injections and fillings. Fissure seals are especially good for children with braces, as it can be difficult to brush well whilst wearing a brace. - Scaling and polishing
Scaling and polishing is not usually for children with deciduous (milk) teeth. However, it is necessary if the child has bleeding gums; plaque and calculus (tartar) build up on the permanent teeth or a strong tendency to inherited gum disease. - Orthodontics (Braces)
If your child has crooked or spaced teeth, they could benefit from tooth straightening, we will let you know. The practice will refer your child to a specialist orthodontist, who can carry out tooth straightening under the NHS if they meet the NHS criteria. We can also carry out the teeth straightening in the practice on a private basis. - Diet Advice
The correct diet advice will prevent the need for extensive and costly treatments in the future. Gurdev can check the children’s teeth and let you know if foods and drinks are affecting your child’s tooth enamel. - Fillings
If your child does need a filling, we use a pain free technique and, tooth coloured filling materials.
