Babies and toddlers

We recommend a first visit by the first birthday. It is mostly a chance to get comfortable in the chair.

School-age children

Regular check-ups, fluoride varnish and fissure sealants protect new adult teeth as they come through.

Nervous children

Tell us when you book. We use a tell-show-do approach, short appointments and plenty of breaks.

Teenagers

Aftercare

  • After fluoride varnish, avoid eating for 30 minutes and skip brushing until the next morning.

  • Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste: a smear for under-threes, a pea-sized amount from age three.

  • Help with brushing until your child is around seven or eight.

  • Keep sugary snacks and drinks to mealtimes.
