A childs 1st visit

A childs first visit to the dentist can be daunting, we understand, but at your childs first visit our friendly and reassuring reception team will meet you as you arrive.

Next one of our dental nurses will come out and collect you and show you through to the dentist, then it is time for your child to have a ride on the chair.

The dentist will count your childs teeth, check everything is healthy and answer any questions you may have.

Then its time to choose a fantastic sticker to show how good and brave your child was.

Did you Know?

There are 36 grams of sugar in one can of coca-cola. That is the equivalent to 9 teaspoons of sugar.

Eating cheese after a meal reduces the plaque acids which attack the tooth enamel, so its handy to pop a bit in your childs lunchbox.

There are hidden sugars in savoury foods too, such as crisps and baked beans, so check the food labels and ask us for a diet sheet, you may be suprised.         

**Kids be sure to put your tooth under your pillow, so that the tooth fairy can collect it!!! **
