The recommendation is the first birthday or the first tooth, whichever comes first.

Not because much needs doing at that age, but because the room stops being unfamiliar.
- 20 minutes
- No treatment on day one
- Parent stays in the room
Preventive sealants
The biting surfaces of new adult molars have grooves too deep to clean.

A resin sealant closes them off. It takes minutes, needs no drilling and no anaesthetic.
- Resin sealant
- No drilling
- Ages 6 and 12
Fluoride and alternatives
Fluoride toothpaste and varnish are the best-evidenced way to prevent decay in children.

If your family would rather avoid fluoride, we will talk through the alternatives — hydroxyapatite paste, diet and closer recall visits — and what the evidence says about each.
- Fluoride advice
- Alternatives explained
- No judgement
Oral habit check
Thumb sucking and other oral habits can affect how the teeth come together.

We look for them at children's visits, help with breaking the habit, and refer to an orthodontist or your GP when something needs more than that.
- Habit check
- Habit coaching
- Referral if needed
Sports mouthguards

They cost more than the boil-and-bite kind and protect considerably better — a knocked-out front tooth is a lifetime of dentistry.
- Scanned, not moulded
- Club colours
- Ready in a week
Twenty minutes, and nothing sharp
- 01
Meet the chair
They ride it up and down. That is genuinely the highlight for most four-year-olds.
- 02
Count the teeth
Out loud, with a mirror they can hold. No instruments they have not seen first.
- 03
A quick look
We check the bite, the gums and how the adult teeth are tracking underneath.
- 04
Go home
A sticker, and a plan for you. Anything that needs doing is booked for another day.
