Easter is fast approaching and our appointments for the school holidays are filling up, so ring now and book a check-up for your child now! The holidays are a perfect time for kids to have their routine check-up and will ensure that they start the new term with beautiful, bright and healthy smile.

Check-ups for children

We recommend regular check-ups for children and teenagers and ideally aim for 6 monthly appointments. Check-ups are only short, but they are very important, as they allow us to keep tabs on your child’s dental development and spot any warning signs, which may need addressing. We know that some children feel a little apprehensive when they go to the dentist, but we have many years of experience in treating children and we try and do everything possible to make the experience fun!

During a routine check, which only lasts a few minutes, our dentists examine the mouth, look for any signs of decay or plaque on the teeth and check the gums. They will give the teeth a quick polish and note down any changes in the child’s notes. If there are any problems, such as cavities or orthodontic issues, these will be discussed at the time and a suitable course of action will be taken.

We are perfectly happy for parents and children to share appointments. With younger children, it can be reassuring for the child to see what is going on with their parent and then to be comforted while they have their own quick check-up.
