Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can teach your child and our aim is to ensure you are confident in implementing a preventive program for your family.

During your child’s early stages of life, it’s important for us to prevent and treat problems that may occur as your child grows. We suggest that you bring your child to visit us early, ideally the first visit should be around two years of age; but of course if you have any concerns before this time, we suggest you contact our practice immediately.

One of the many benefits of early visits is that your child will become familiar with our surroundings and our staff, making their visits to us a fun, enjoyable and exciting experience.

During these visits we’ll monitor the eruption of the teeth and the jaw growth. If we have concerns about you child’s cleaning habits or jaw development it can often be highly beneficial if we address this early. We’ll also educate you and your child about the importance of daily care and explain why it is necessary that you assist your child in cleaning their teeth until they are around seven.

Dentistry for children is an important part of the service that we provide. The major part of this service involves educating you and your child on the importance of life long dental care.
