Paediatric Restorative Dentistry
The Restorative care was started initially in 2015 & services were provided at the Orthodontic clinic and OPD clinic with limited facilities. Unit was being providing trauma management & comprehensive dental treatment under General Anaesthesia for needy child patients. With the blessings of the Director LRH – Dr. G. Wijesuriya & the DDG (Dental Services) we started a separate Restorative unit in July 2020 to treat all child patients needing advanced Restorative care.
The work force consists of a Consultant in Restorative Dentistry and Dental surgeons and supportive staff.
