Studies show that the earlier you introduce your child to a dentist, the less fear they are likely to experience when visiting a dental practice later in life.
Our team of dental and healthcare professionals are child-friendly and will do their very best to make the experience fun and exciting for your child. Your dentist can also take early preventative measures such as applying fluoride treatment and fissure sealants to your child’s teeth to help prevent tooth decay.
When caring for your children’s teeth at home, only use unsweetened milk in your baby bottles and limit the use of a dummy wherever possible. As your children get older, teach them how to brush properly and make sure their toothpaste contains fluoride, a strengthening mineral that helps prevent tooth decay.
Encourage a healthy, balanced diet and limit sugary snacks and fizzy drinks to treat times. Sugar attacks the tooth enamel and can be highly damaging to young teeth.
It is also at a young age that orthodontic issues tend to first manifest themselves. Though these problems aren’t totally preventable, the earlier a dentist can diagnose them, the more options you have for treatment. Issues like overbites, underbites and crossbites are much easier to treat in the earlier stages of your child’s development.

RESUMPTION OF FACE TO FACE DENTAL SERVICES
Dear All
As many of you may already know, face to face dental services resumed on June 8th. We have been making steady progress to return to a new normal. We have always maintained the highest standard of infection control and have continued. We have had to make some changes to the number of appointments we can offer during the day to accommodate social distancing requirements and surgery downtime during appointments. We continue to offer telephone/video triage appointments as we have found this to be very successful, as many concerns can be managed without having to attend a face to face consultation.
We are looking to move towards opening up for:
Regarding check up appointments we anticipate to role this out over the coming weeks, this will still be limited service, with patients at high risk of dental disease given priority. we are still having to cancel several check up appointments, which were booked prior to lock-down due to insufficient space within the diary. However due to changes to the way we are required to work, a scale and polish would no longer be provided as routine under the NHS. For patients who wish to have a scale and polish are still able to book with the hygienist, who are now able to return to work.
I would like to thank you all for your understanding and patience during this difficult time.
Stay Safe.
Dr Fezaan Gatrad
