Our ethos
Childhood is the most important period in a person's "dental life."
For some children, a visit to the dentist brings anything from mild apprehension to real anxiety — so from their very first visit, we focus on building a rapport, explaining what we're doing, and helping them feel confident and relaxed. We believe this sets children up with a positive attitude towards dental health for life, built on preventing decay and gum disease rather than just treating it.
Our children's services
What we offer, by age:
❉ First visit (12–18 months): Once first teeth appear, we check for early risk factors, review brushing habits, and talk through diet — and give your child a "dental home" to turn to.
❉ Age 5–6 onwards: As adult teeth start coming through, we help you build a tailored at-home routine (fluoride toothpaste, gels, mouthwash) alongside regular hygienist visits, fluoride applications and fissure sealing where appropriate.
❉ Older children: We monitor facial growth and dental development from an orthodontic point of view, so we can catch problems early and start orthodontic treatment at the right time if needed.
We keep up to date with protocols for dental trauma, and make custom sports mouthguards — fitted to accommodate new teeth coming through, and available in a range of colours to keep even the most particular young patients happy.

Caring for your child’s teeth can be challenging!
Our hygienists help you build positive oral hygiene habits at home, adapting the approach as your child's mouth changes and adult teeth come through.
A children's hygiene appointment includes:
❉ An examination of how effectively they're brushing, using a disclosing solution to highlight missed spots, with a demo on where to improve.
❉ Scaling to remove calculus build-up, and polishing.
❉ A chat about diet and how it affects childhood tooth decay.
❉ Fissure sealing — a protective coating on the back teeth to keep food and bacteria out of the grooves.
❉ Fluoride coatings to strengthen young, still-developing enamel.
Everything your child's dental health needs, in one place
From Rachel's genuine passion for treating children and young adults, to Anjali, our in-house specialist orthodontist guiding jaw and bite development at just the right time, to our hygienists' gentle, tailored approach for growing smiles — your child is in exceptional hands at every stage, right under one roof.
