Family Friendly Dentistry

We offer a comprehensive dental care service for the whole family and that includes the very youngest members whose growing teeth will need plenty of special attention. Teeth start to appear at around six months so this is the ideal time to bring your little ones to see us. Regular visits at a young age will help your little one get used to our practice and develop a relaxed attitude to dental appointments.

You can also introduce them to our hygienist who will help keep their teeth extra clean, as well as offering tooth brushing and dietary advice so they can keep up the good work at home. This handy advice from our dentists and hygienists will help your children develop lifelong tooth care skills. We can also apply fissure sealants to arm young teeth against decay as soon as they start to come through.

Our experience, expertise and friendly approach benefits every member of your family and our top quality dental care and treatments are delivered in our modern, welcoming practice.

After their first visit, it is generally recommended that children continue to see a dentist regularly, typically every six months or as recommended by their dentist.
