Child-Friendly Dentist
Your child’s oral health is important to us – that’s why we are a child-friendly dentist
Regular visits to the dentist are just as important to your child’s health as a trip to the doctor’s. With regular visits, your child will be instilled with the knowledge that frequent brushing is vital to gleaming teeth and perfect gums.
We are proud to be part of the national Childsmile program. Good oral health in childhood means healthy teeth and gums throughout life. Childsmile is working to ensure all children, regardless of income or background, have the best possible start.

Our team will:
- Give information on how teeth grow and develop and carry out regular checks to make sure the teeth and gums are healthy.

- Demonstrate and explain toothbrushing.
- Promote toothbrushing messages e.g. spit don’t rinse.

Regular visits will also help your child to become familiar with being examined by a dentist.
From the age of 2, our team can provide additional preventive care, such as fluoride varnish and fissure sealants.
As your child develops, you might require advice as a parent regarding:
- Correct time to put in braces
- And much more
We’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure that your child receives the best treatment and advice.
