Child dental care

A first visit they will not be afraid of.

Plan and price first

Nothing begins until you agree to it.

Unhurried visits

Time to ask everything you want to ask.

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. 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. 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. 3

    Prevention

    Fluoride varnish and fissure sealants where they help, plus brushing shown to them rather than lectured at you.

  4. 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.

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.
