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, the Government and NHS has announced that face to face dental services can resume on June 8th.
Initially it will not be a return back to “normal” as such. We are drawing together protocols in place that ensure strict infection control measures and a need to conform with social distancing measures in order to protect our patients, our staff and the general public.
Since we were asked to stop face to face consultations at the end of March, we have had to manage over 500 emergency patients. Although we would love to see you all in the first week of opening, the new normal will have a significant impact on the number of patients we can see in a day. I appreciate any dental issue is horrendous and urgent to the person that is suffering, but we will have to prioritize patients based on need as we see fit. These are difficult decisions we have to make and I sincerely ask you for your understanding in these matters.
We will also be contacting patients who were mid treatment before the lock down started, so we can complete the treatment for them. It is likely that routine check ups have to be postponed until we can clear the back log of patients in need.
Please do not call us, we will begin to contact you as soon as we can.
We are still awaiting more information from the NHS and the government on more specific detail on how we get back to work, and as we know more I will update you all.
I would like to thank you all for your understanding and patience during this very difficult time. I would appreciate if you could share this with family and friends who may be clients of ours and also to like our Facebook page so you can keep up with updates. We hope to be back up and running to look after you and your families once again.
Stay Safe.
Dr Fezaan Gatrad
