Our Children’s Dentistry Services Include
When should your child see the dentist?
We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit by the age of one or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early dental visits are essential for monitoring oral development, detecting any potential issues, and introducing your child to the dental environment in a positive way.

Children’s Dentistry FAQs
1. When should my child have their first dental visit.
It’s recommended that your child visits the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help monitor oral development, establish good habits, and create a positive association with dental care.
2. How can I prepare my child for their dental appointment?
Talk positively about the dentist and explain what to expect in a simple, reassuring way. Reading books about visiting the dentist or role-playing can also help them feel more comfortable. Avoid using words like “pain” or “needle” to minimise anxiety.
3. What dental treatments are available for children?
Children’s dentistry includes preventative care (cleanings, fluoride treatments), restorative treatments (fillings), early orthodontic assessments, fissure sealants, and education on oral hygiene. We also offer options like nitrous oxide (happy gas) for anxious children.
4. Are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?
Yes, baby teeth play a crucial role in your child’s oral development. They help with chewing, speech development, and maintaining space for permanent teeth. Keeping baby teeth healthy reduces the risk of infections and complications.
5. How can I help my child maintain good oral hygiene at home?
Encourage your child to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and ensure they drink plenty of water. Regular dental visits also play an essential role in maintaining their oral health.
