Could this help?

When should my child see a dentist?

A first dental check is generally recommended by around the first birthday or when the first teeth appear. Early, low-pressure visits help children become familiar with the dental environment and allow development, prevention and emerging concerns to be reviewed.

You may wish to discuss

It is time for a first visit or regular check-up
A tooth appears chalky, discoloured, damaged or painful
The gums are swollen, bleeding or uncomfortable
Adult or baby teeth appear delayed, crowded or out of position
Finger or thumb sucking, mouth breathing or another oral habit is a concern
An accident has broken, loosened or knocked out a tooth

First visit or ongoing care?

The appointment is paced around the child’s age, confidence and oral-health needs. A complete clean or treatment is not forced simply because it was planned.

Welcome — introduce the child to the team, environment and equipment in an age-appropriate way
Discussion — ask the parent or guardian about health, diet, brushing, habits, symptoms and development
Gentle check — assess teeth, gums, eruption, bite and oral development as cooperation allows
Prevention — provide cleaning, fluoride or sealants only when suitable and agreed
Guidance — demonstrate brushing and flossing and discuss practical food and drink habits
Next steps — explain findings, treatment needs and an individual review interval, then celebrate the visit with the Fairy Drawer

Personalised care

Positive experiences and clear guidance for parents.

The first visit may focus on familiarity and a gentle check. Ongoing appointments build on the child’s confidence while supporting prevention, development and any treatment needs.

Children’s dental care as they grow

Care is tailored to the child and the finding, with the purpose and alternatives explained to the parent or guardian before proceeding.

Routine examinations, professional cleaning, fluoride and fissure sealants
Assessment and management planning for chalky teeth
Fillings, pulpotomy and stainless-steel crowns for selected baby teeth
Frenum assessment and frenectomy where clinically appropriate
Support for finger or thumb sucking and selected orofacial-myology pathways
Monitoring tooth eruption, bite, crowding and dental development

Dental anxiety and emergency care

We use clear explanations, manageable steps and agreed pauses to help children feel safe. Happy gas or another comfort option may be discussed during treatment planning when clinically suitable.

Call promptly if your child has facial swelling, significant pain, uncontrolled bleeding or a broken, loose or knocked-out tooth. The team can advise on the appropriate next step and whether an urgent appointment is required.

Healthy habits at home

Small routines that support growing smiles.

We give parents and children practical, age-appropriate guidance they can use between visits.

Brushing together

Use a small, soft toothbrush and supervise brushing until your child can clean every surface reliably.

Learning to floss

Introduce flossing where teeth touch, using a method that suits your child’s age and coordination.

Everyday food and drinks

Keep water as the usual drink and limit how often teeth are exposed to sugary snacks and drinks.

Common questions

Questions about children’s dentist newtown.

Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.

When should my child first see a dentist?

A first dental check is generally recommended by around the first birthday or when the first teeth appear. Earlier advice may be appropriate if there is pain, swelling, injury or concern about tooth development.

Can I stay with my child during the appointment?

A parent or guardian is involved in the discussion and consent process. The team explains how the visit will run and adapts the approach to the child’s age, confidence and needs.

What if my child is anxious about the dentist?

Please tell us before the appointment. We can use age-appropriate explanations, agreed pauses and manageable steps. Happy gas or another comfort option may be discussed during treatment planning when suitable.

Will my child need dental X-rays?

Not every child needs X-rays. They are recommended only when clinically appropriate for diagnosis or treatment planning, with the reason explained to the parent or guardian first.

What should I do in a children’s dental emergency?

Call promptly for facial swelling, significant pain, uncontrolled bleeding or a broken, loose or knocked-out tooth. The team can provide immediate guidance and arrange the appropriate care.

How much does children’s dental care cost, and do you accept CDBS?

Fees depend on the appointment and treatment required. Eligible children may be able to use the Child Dental Benefits Schedule for selected services. Our team can check current eligibility and explain any expected costs before treatment.
