About paediatric dentistry

A child's first visits shape how they feel about dentists for life. We keep them short, playful and pain-free: counting teeth, riding the chair, a sticker at the end.

Behind the fun is serious prevention — sealants, fluoride and early checks on how the adult teeth are coming in.

This may be suitable if you have

  • A first visit by your child's first birthday
  • Cavities in milk teeth
  • Thumb-sucking, or teeth coming in crowded
  • Children who are anxious about dentists

  • Pit-and-fissure sealants
  • Brushing coaching for parents and kids

Treatment

  • Space maintainers after early tooth loss
  • Emergency care for knocked teeth

  • Sports mouthguards
  • Growth notes at each visit

How treatment works

  1. Meet and play

    Your child meets the dentist, explores the chair and counts teeth — no tools until they are ready.

  2. Check and protect

    A quick check, then fluoride or sealants if they are needed.

  3. Plan for parents

    You get a simple home routine and a reminder for the next visit.

Frequently asked questions

When should my child first see a dentist?

By their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are mostly about getting comfortable.

Do milk teeth really need fillings?

Yes. They hold space for adult teeth and help with chewing and speech. An untreated cavity can cause pain and infection even in a tooth that will fall out later.

My child is scared — what do you do?

We go at their pace: tell, show, then do. Many anxious children are happily opening up by the second visit.
