Children’s dentistry

From brushing their first tooth to feeling comfortable and confident visiting the dentist, our team has been helping children to develop positive oral healthcare habits for more than 40 years.

Delivering lifelong dental wellbeing through a preventative approach, we are here to help from baby teeth to emerging adult teeth and beyond, monitoring, observing, supporting and nurturing positive routines, associations and growth from day one. From regular check-ups to lifestyle advice and emergency appointments, we seek to protect teeth from tooth decay and resolve any developmental issues early and sensitively for the best outcomes.

Your child’s first visit

We recommend starting dental care for children as soon as their first milk tooth comes through, usually around the age of six months. While you get them used to brushing their teeth and gums at home, we will check that everything is developing as it should, ensuring healthy habits for life.

Emerging adult teeth

As children grow and their adult teeth emerge, it’s important that we keep an eye on their developing health. In addition to dental care plans that support their oral wellbeing as they grow, we offer experienced orthodontic care in case children need braces or other treatment as they get older.

What you need to know

When should children start going to the dentist?

Children should start going to the dentist within six months of their first tooth coming through – so, between the ages of six months and one year old.

When should I start brushing my child’s teeth?

You should start brushing your child’s teeth twice a day as soon as the first tooth appears, usually around the age of six months old.

How often should my child visit the dentist?

It’s generally recommended that children visit the dentist every six months while their teeth are developing. Depending on their individual needs that frequency may vary.

How do I look after my child’s baby teeth?

Even though they’re not permanent, baby teeth are important for children’s health and development. If they’re lost too early they can lead to crooked adult teeth or overcrowding. Brushing gently with an infant toothbrush twice a day from when they start teething, gently going over teeth and gyms with a small amount of toothpaste will help to keep them healthy and prepare them for good lifelong dental habits.
