Child dental care
A first visit they will not be afraid of.
Plan and price first

Unhurried visits

HMO accepted
Nine partner health plans, billed for you.
Gentle by default
Say you're nervous and we pace it to you.
How a child feels about their first few dental visits tends to follow them into adulthood. So we go slowly. Early visits are often nothing more than a ride in the chair, a count of the teeth and a sticker. We explain everything to them, in their own words, before we do it. There is a play area, and no one rushes.
This is for you if
- Your child has never seen a dentist and you want it to go well
- You want their teeth checked before a problem starts hurting
- A previous visit somewhere else frightened them

Step by step
How it works
- 1
Meeting us
The first visit is about the room, not the teeth. Sitting in the chair, meeting the dentist, seeing the mirror. Often nothing else happens at all.
- 2
A gentle look
We count and check the teeth, showing them each instrument first. Nothing goes near a child's mouth before they have seen it and understood it.
- 3
Prevention
Fluoride varnish and fissure sealants where they help, plus brushing shown to them rather than lectured at you.
- 4
Coming back
Regular short visits keep it ordinary. A child who visits when nothing is wrong is far less frightened on the day something is.
Before you come
How you describe it at home decides how the visit goes.
Children arrive already holding whatever picture they were given. One expecting to have their teeth counted is a different patient from one who has been reassured it will not hurt.
Say this
- We are going to count your teeth
- You can sit in the chair that goes up and down
- Bring whatever you want to hold
- I will be right there with you
Leave these out
- hurt
- pain
- needle
- injection
- drill
- brave
Even inside a promise that there will be none of it. The word is what they remember, not the promise around it.
A closer look
Shown first, then done
Nothing goes near a child's mouth before they have seen it, held it if they want to, and understood what it does. That is what makes the next visit easy.

Honest answers
How old should my child be for a first visit?
Around their first birthday, or whenever the first teeth appear. Early visits are mostly about familiarity, and they make everything afterwards easier.
My child is already terrified. What then?
Tell us when you book and we will plan around it. That usually means a longer, slower appointment where we do less than we could, so that next time we can do more.
Do baby teeth really matter if they fall out anyway?
Yes. They hold the space for the adult teeth behind them, and decay in a baby tooth hurts a child just as much. Losing them early can crowd what follows.
Can I stay with them?
Of course. For younger children we would rather you did. There is also a lounge if an older child would prefer to do it alone.
How do I prepare them beforehand?
Keep it light and avoid words like hurt, needle or drill, even to promise there will not be any. Say they are going to have their teeth counted, and leave the rest to us.
Something else on your mind?Ask us directly, we answer fast.
One trip
Book the children beside your own check-up.
Lagos traffic being what it is, a second trip is the reason most children never come back. Tell us who is coming when you book and we will put the appointments together, so it costs you one journey instead of three.
It helps them too. A child who watches a parent sit in the chair first has very little left to be frightened of.
