Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend bringing children for their first visit when their first teeth appear, usually around 6 months to 1 year old.
Is NHS treatment free for children?
Yes, NHS dental treatment is free for all children under 18 (or under 19 if in full-time education).
What are fissure sealants?
Thin protective coatings applied to the biting surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay. They're painless and very effective.
My child is nervous. Can you help?
Absolutely. We take a gentle approach and can use techniques like 'tell-show-do' to help anxious children feel comfortable.
