Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
A children's dental exam and cleaning is a check of your child's teeth, gums and bite, followed by a professional clean to remove the plaque that brushing misses. A first consultation tells us how long these visits need to be and how often your child should come back.
Our dentists provide these visits at our Primrose Hill practice.
Many parents are unsure when to start a child's dental care or how a first visit will go. We provide paediatric dentistry in London for every stage of development, and the exam is where it starts. We look for plaque build-up and early decay, because a small cavity left alone can become an infection that affects the neighbouring teeth.
Where we need to see between or inside the teeth, we take dental x-rays. For children at higher risk of decay we recommend fluoride treatments and fissure sealants for the molars. Where a baby tooth is badly decayed, a paediatric crown can protect it until it falls out naturally.
Choosing care for your child can feel like a gamble on cost and quality. We remove that uncertainty by examining first and planning second, so you only pay for what is clinically required and you see every item before agreeing to it.
We plan around dental anxiety from the start; see our care for anxious children. We also pick up early signs that orthodontics or fluoride treatments may be needed, so nothing is a surprise later.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Children of all ages are welcome. Some are anxious about the dentist, and some parents feel guilty that check-ups have been missed; neither is a problem for us. We keep the visit calm and start from where your child is now. For children with additional needs we offer special needs dentistry, and for decay-prone molars we offer fissure sealants.
Whether you are moving from NHS care to private treatment or booking a first ever visit, our dentists assess each child individually and set the approach to suit them.
We examine your child's teeth and gums, checking for decay, gum health and how the adult teeth are coming through. We explain each step as we go so your child knows what is happening.
We remove plaque and surface stains with techniques suited to a child's mouth. We tell you how long each visit is likely to take so you can plan your day. If we find decay, we discuss children's fillings.
We show your child how to brush and floss properly and give you practical tips to use at home, so the routine starts early.
We set a simple maintenance plan, including how often your child should come back. Details of paediatric dentistry costs in London help you plan ahead.
We provide children's dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental hygiene for children and teens in Primrose Hill. Our clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, a GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
Where a tooth needs repair we use conservative methods: dental bonding and tooth-coloured composite resin. Where alignment needs attention, removable aligners can be an option instead of fixed braces, and we use a diode laser for tongue-tie division.
We also offer nutrition advice for families who want to lower their children's decay risk.
It varies with the child's age and how much plaque there is. We confirm the time needed at the first consultation.
As soon as the first tooth appears. We go through the details at the first visit, and our children's dental aftercare guide covers home care.
Fees for exams and cleanings are confirmed after a clinical assessment, so the cost reflects the care your child actually needs.
That depends on home brushing and diet. We agree a recall interval at the appointment.
We assess each child individually to decide the right cleaning method and frequency. See what happens at your child's dental consultation and how to book to get started.
We provide these visits at our Regent's Park Road practice.
