Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit, a routine check-up or a painful tooth, we’re here to help. Our friendly dentists take time to explain, reassure and help your child feel at ease, while giving you clear advice about their teeth and any treatment they need.
A positive experience at the dentist can help your child feel more confident about caring for their teeth as they grow. New surroundings can feel unfamiliar, so a little patience, kindness and reassurance can make a big difference.
A friendly hello
We start by getting to know your child and listening to any concerns you have. It’s a chance to settle in, ask questions and become familiar with the dental surroundings.
A gentle look at their teeth
Our dentist explains what they would like to do in simple language before examining your child’s teeth and gums. We take a patient approach and offer reassurance along the way.
A clear plan for their smile
We explain what we’ve found, whether any treatment is needed and how you can help at home. You’ll have time to discuss the options and understand the next steps.
It’s natural to have questions about your child’s dental care. From their first appointment to treatment for a troublesome tooth, we’re here to help you feel informed and your child feel reassured.
We begin by getting to know your child and listening to any concerns you have. Our dentist introduces the examination gently, checks their teeth and gums as they feel able, and explains the findings to you. You’ll also receive advice about caring for their teeth at home.
Please let us know when booking so we can understand what worries your child. We use simple explanations, patience and reassurance to help them become familiar with the surroundings. A favourite soft toy can offer a little extra comfort too.
Our dentists see children for routine check-ups and many common dental problems, including tooth decay, toothache and damaged teeth. We start with an assessment, explain suitable treatment options and discuss the costs with you. Where specialist care is needed, we explain the next steps.
