Children’s Dentistry FAQs

  • What is the youngest age you can treat?

    While even babies can have their gums looked over, we recommend your child’s first visit is around the age of 1. In cases where there’s a good standard of oral health, a 6-monthly check-up is usually all that’s needed to maintain the health of the mouth, teeth and gums.

  • Is treatment safe?

    It’s safe to treat even very young children; we call on our knowledge, experience and expertise to do just that. Your child’s comfort and safety is our priority throughout their care, and we do all we can to put them at ease.

  • What are the benefits to starting treatment early?

    A large part of oral care, even for adults, is prevention. Regular dental check-ups can uncover problems early on, in some cases before they cause pain or problems, and even sometimes before the patient notices themselves. In addition, early familiarisation with the dentist can help prevent your child developing a future phobia, the likes of which can cause patients to avoid care when they need it most.

  • What treatments do you offer?

    Our priority focus with younger patients is decay prevention, but we also work hard to develop positive relationships. We want children to be happy and confident when they visit the dentist. We apply fluoride varnish as recommended by the NICE guidelines and we can provide fissure sealants. This involves a plastic coating being painted onto the teeth to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped and causing decay. Additionally, we offer valuable dietary advice that will help prevent decay.

  • How much does treatment cost?

    For those under 18 and in full-time education, dentistry is covered on the NHS.
