Children’s Dentistry

At Turncroft Dental Practice, we believe that good dental habits start early. Our children’s dental care services are designed to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for your child. From a baby’s very first check-up to ongoing care through their teenage years, we provide gentle, preventative dentistry that helps set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Building Confidence in the Dentist’s Chair

We understand that some children may feel nervous about visiting the dentist, which is why we focus on creating a welcoming and reassuring environment. Our team takes time to explain treatments in simple, friendly language and encourages children to get involved in their own dental care.

By building trust early, we help your child feel comfortable during their appointments — making future visits easier and stress-free.

Preventative Care for Lifelong Oral Health

Prevention is at the heart of our children’s dentistry. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor tooth development, spot any potential issues early, and give personalised advice on brushing and diet.

Where needed, we can provide additional protective treatments such as fluoride applications and fissure sealants to strengthen teeth against decay. Our aim is to keep your child’s smile bright, healthy, and problem-free.

Advice and Support for Parents

Looking after a child’s teeth is a team effort, and we’re here to help every step of the way. During your visits, we’ll share practical tips on brushing techniques, sugar intake, and habits to avoid — making it easier for you to protect your child’s oral health at home.

If we notice any orthodontic concerns, we can also discuss options for early intervention, helping to guide healthy tooth and jaw development.

Tip: It’s best to bring your child for their first dental appointment as soon as their first teeth appear — and certainly by their first birthday. Early visits help them get used to the sights and sounds of the dental surgery, making care much easier in the long run.
