The first signs of tooth decay.

Toothache or swelling

Or mouth breathing, which can affect how the jaws grow.

Your Comfort & Safety

Gentle Technology

Low-radiation X-rays and on-screen pictures make visits quicker and less scary for children.

Digital X-ray (RVG)

Much less radiation than film, and you see the image on screen instantly.

Intraoral camera

See your own teeth on screen, so you understand exactly what needs care.

4x magnification

Your dentist sees every detail four times larger, for more careful work.

Intraoral scanner

A quick 3D scan instead of messy putty moulds. No gagging.

Electric handpiece

Quieter and smoother than the old air drill, with less vibration.

4-step sterilisation

Every instrument cleaned, disinfected, autoclaved (Class B) and UV-treated. Your safety comes first.

Your Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child first see a dentist?

By their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth.

Yes. They hold space for adult teeth and help your child eat and speak. An infected milk tooth can also damage the adult tooth underneath.

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cut down on sweets between meals, and come for check-ups every six months.

Yes, in the small amounts we use. It’s one of the best ways to prevent cavities.

It’s normal in young children. If it continues after age 4, it can push the teeth out of place. We can help your child stop.

We go slowly, explain everything and never force treatment on the first visit. Most children relax within a visit or two.

A check at age 7 is ideal. Most children start braces between 10 and 14, but some problems are easier to fix earlier.
