About this treatment
Baby teeth matter: they help children chew, speak clearly and hold space for the adult teeth underneath. A cavity in a milk tooth can still cause pain, infection and crooked permanent teeth, which is why early, regular visits make such a difference.
Our children's dentistry is built around trust. We use simple words, let your child touch and see the instruments first and never rush. The goal is a child who leaves smiling and is happy to come back — the best protection there is for a lifetime of healthy teeth.
What's included
- A gentle, playful approach
- Fluoride and protective sealants
- Brushing and diet tips for parents

Aftercare and everyday tips
- Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste: a smear for under-3s, a pea-sized amount after that

- Keep sweet drinks and snacks to mealtimes; water between meals
- Avoid putting children to bed with a bottle of milk or juice
- Book a checkup every six months
Frequently asked questions
Ideally when the first tooth appears, and no later than their first birthday. Early visits are short and gentle, and they help your child get used to the dentist before any problem appears.
Often, yes. Untreated decay in a baby tooth can cause pain and infection and can affect the adult tooth growing underneath. We always choose the gentlest option suited to your child's age and how long the tooth still has to stay.
A thin protective coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. It seals the deep grooves where food gets trapped. It is quick, painless and needs no injection or drilling.
We go at your child's pace, explain everything with simple words and show each instrument first. We never force treatment; sometimes a first visit is just about getting comfortable, and that is perfectly fine.
Of course. Most young children feel safer with a parent nearby, and we like parents to see and hear the advice we give.
