Often, it’s the unknown and lack of familiarity that nurtures fears and anxieties. You can help your child become dentist-confident. Regular visits to the dentist for private dental health check-ups will help them to understand the processes and what to expect, as well as build a relationship with their dentist or orthodontist that we hope will last a lifetime.

Regular visits to the dentist for private dental health check-ups will help them to understand the processes and what to expect, as well as build a relationship with their dentist or orthodontist that we hope will last a lifetime.
The first few years of visiting us are more of a trust building exercise, as well as a chance to give useful preventative advice to the parents or carers. Teaching children good dental hygiene at a young age is an investment in their health that will set them up for life. We’ll teach children how to look after their teeth, brushing techniques, diet advice and much more.
Your child will usually start to get their milk teeth at around six months old. We recommend that children have regular private dental health check-ups from the age of two. If your child is struggling to maintain good dental hygiene, it might be worth seeing one of our friendly hygienists to ensure your child has healthy teeth and gums.
As your child grows, we can begin looking at orthodontic examinations and assessments if this necessary. This will usually happen from around 11 years onwards. St Michael’s Orthodontics is on hand to offer the best possible teeth straightening treatment and our dentists at St Michael’s Dental Practice work closely with the team there.
