Calm, playful check-ups from the first tooth through the teenage years, with parents in the room for every appointment.

Children's dentistry

Who it’s for /

Is it right for you?

Early, regular visits help children grow up relaxed about the dentist. Appointments are short and paced for young attention spans.

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

Advice on braces and aligners, sports mouthguards and the habits that protect teeth for life.

Step by step /

What happens during treatment

Every step is explained before it happens, and you can pause at any point.

01

Meet and explore

Your child meets Dr. Divya, rides the chair up and down and sees the instruments before they are used.
02

Gentle check

We count and check each tooth and look at how the jaw and bite are developing. X-rays are only taken when needed.
03

Clean and protect

A gentle polish, then fluoride varnish or fissure sealants if we recommend them.
04

Tips for home

We show you and your child how to brush well and talk about snacks, drinks and thumb-sucking where relevant.

Results and aftercare /

What to expect afterwards

Children who visit regularly from an early age are more likely to stay comfortable at the dentist, and problems are caught while they are small.

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.
