Children's Dentistry FAQs
When should I bring my child for their first dental visit in West Byfleet?
We recommend bringing your baby to the dentist when their first milk tooth appears, or by their first birthday. Early visits help your child become familiar with the environment long before any treatment is ever required.
What are fissure sealants and are they painful for children?
Fissure sealants are thin, protective plastic coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) to prevent food and bacteria from settling in deep grooves. The procedure is completely painless, quick, and requires no drilling.
How can I prepare my nervous child for a dental appointment?
Keep talks about the dentist positive and relaxed! Avoid using words like 'pain' or 'hurt'. You can read books or play pretend dentist at home. Our team is exceptionally patient and experienced in reassuring anxious children.
Do you provide custom sports mouthguards for school sports in Surrey?
Yes! We create custom-fitted gum shields for children playing rugby, hockey, martial arts, and other sports across Woking and Surrey schools. Custom mouthguards offer far superior protection and comfort compared to shop-bought 'boil and bite' guards.
How often should children visit the dentist?
Children should typically visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up and preventive review. This allows us to spot any early signs of decay or jaw development issues early.
