Children's Dentistry

We believe the key to healthy teeth is starting young – our team can help families introduce positive oral hygiene habits with their children at home.

With an ethos rooted in providing the best care possible, we are dedicated to helping our youngest patients care for their teeth and oral health. We know that preventive care is the best form of dental care and believe that for the best results, this preventive care should start from an early age.

When should I first bring my child to the dentist?

We recommend bringing your child to visit us here at n22dental when their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. At this point, we will carry out a short examination of the mouth to make sure everything is healthy and proceeding as it should.

These early visits to the dentist are important for normalising the experience for your child, so they feel comfortable and secure with us. This will prevent any fears or anxieties from arising and sets the foundation for making sure a visit to us is an enjoyable experience.

What treatments do you offer to children?

Our routine dental examinations for children include a health screening as well as help and advice in creating an at-home care regime. As the child gets older, this may include fluoride application, fissure sealing and advise on orthodontic treatment.

There are some cases where unfortunately we may have to do fillings or even extractions on children. As for adults, we make this as comfortable as possible for the child, but if the child is very anxious we will offer referral to specialist paediatric dental services to help the child in the best way possible.
