Dental Care for Children

We recommend bringing children in from a young age – either when their first tooth erupts or by the time they turn one, depending on which happens first. This will help us better monitor their oral health from the get-go, as well as help to make them feel comfortable and secure here when visiting us.

Depending on individual cases, we recommend check-ups every six months when children are young. With such regular check-ups, we’ll be able to monitor their progress from baby to adult teeth and offer advice if and when orthodontic treatment is necessary.

We’ll carry out a full examination and provide advice and instruction on tooth brushing at home, diet, and other preventive treatments. At Newholme Clinic, we promote a preventive-first approach, and when starting from such a young age, we’ll hopefully be able to avoid the need for major intervention treatments as much as possible.

Younger patients often need some level of extra care, which could come in the form of fillings, fissure sealants, or fluoride treatments.
