Regular examinations allow our dentists to detect cavities, gum disease, and other concerns early. We recommend check-ups every 6 months for children and adults.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. Our fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and especially recommended for children aged 6 months to 16 years.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the biting surfaces of back teeth. They act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles that cause decay. Sealants are one of the most effective preventive treatments available for children aged 6-14.
We teach children and adults the right brushing techniques, flossing habits, and dietary choices that protect teeth for life. Our team uses age-appropriate, friendly methods so children leave knowing and wanting to care for their teeth.
Infants and toddlers (we recommend a first visit by age 1)
School-age children building lifelong oral habits

Your Questions About Dental Care, Answered.
We recommend every 6 months. Early and regular visits help children become comfortable with dental care and allow us to catch problems before they worsen.
Ideally within 6 months of the first tooth appearing, or by age 1. Early visits set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth.
Yes. Professional fluoride treatments use safe, controlled amounts and are endorsed by dental associations worldwide. They are one of the most proven ways to prevent tooth decay in children.
Absolutely. Adults of all ages benefit from regular check-ups, cleanings, and oral health guidance. Preventive care helps avoid costly and complex treatments later.
Yes, we welcome expat families and international visitors. Our English-speaking team, modern facilities, and transparent pricing make us a trusted choice for dental care in Nepal.
A typical check-up includes a visual examination of your teeth and gums, a check for cavities or early decay, a professional cleaning if needed, and personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and diet. Check-ups are quick, painless, and a key part of catching issues early.
Sealants are usually applied as soon as the permanent back molars come in, typically between ages 6 and 12. Since these teeth have deep grooves that are hard to clean, sealing them early is one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities.
No. Applying sealants is quick and completely painless, with no drilling, needles, or anesthesia required. Most children find the process comfortable and are done within minutes.
Preventive care focuses on stopping problems before they start through check-ups, cleanings, fluoride, and sealants. Restorative dentistry, by contrast, treats problems that have already developed, such as fillings, root canals, or crowns. Investing in preventive care reduces the need for restorative treatment later.
We recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure prompt, unhurried care, especially for children and first-time visits. Our team can help you find a convenient time for the whole family.
