Dentistry for Children
We believe it is vital to help children care for their teeth from an early age, this will give their teeth and gums the best possible start and will help children to be aware of the importance of their dental health.
We offer routine examinations to children from the approximate age of 3 years, although bringing your children with you from an early age will get them used to the environment of the dental practice and help them become more familiar and relaxed with the surroundings.
We offer one free oral health visit (approximately 15 minutes) for children whose parents are registered patients of the practice, these are run by our hygienists, these sessions will teach children about caring properly for their teeth and how following a healthy diet will help prevent decay.
Many children need to have orthodontic treatment and we will keep a close watch on the way our young patient's teeth are developing.
Our hygienists can also provide fissure sealants for children. These are a very thin plastic coating which is painted onto the permanent back molars, helping to prevent decay. These are charged at £25 per tooth.
All children whose parents are registered at the practice will receive two free check ups a year and one free 15 minute hygiene session.
Children whose parents are not registered will be charged at half the adult rate for check ups and hygiene. Please see fee guide for details.
All treatment will be charged at a sessional rate of £45 per 15 minutes.
