Growing teeth need plenty of attention, which means looking after them effectively at home and bringing your youngsters to see the dentist for preventative dental care.
Teeth start to emerge at around six months and this is the best time to bring your little ones for their first check-up. This will ensure they get used to the sights, smells and sounds of the dental practice, as well as encourage a more relaxed approach to attending appointments.
Your dentist can protect young teeth with a fissure sealant, a clear coating that shields the hard-to-clean back teeth by preventing bacteria from entering. Fluoride varnish can also be used to strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay.
As well as regular visits to the dentist, an effective home care routine is essential for keeping developing teeth healthy. Your dentist can offer advice about how best to maintain the health of your child’s teeth between appointments. You should start to clean teeth as soon as they appear and continue this as children get older, with supervised brushing twice a day. Flossing can also be introduced when teeth start to touch each other.
As well as cleaning teeth, you should also pay attention to your child’s diet, making sure they don’t consume too much sugary food and drink.

Excellent service at Church Street Dental practice, made you feel extremely comfortable and informed throughout. Very friendly and professional service. I saw the staff members the following day in town and was also talking to them for a while! 100% the best in this area.
I have had Invisalign, teeth whitening and bonding with Church Street Dental Practice. I was so unhappy with my teeth and visited many dentists to try and find the right fit. I knew immediately when I had a consultation with Anita that I wanted to have my treatment done there. The staff are all so lovely and accommodating. Anita listened to all of my concerns and made every effort to fulfil my vision (which she definitely did). I then had my bonding done with Sunny and I absolutely love them, they’re everything I could of imagined and more! I recommend this dentist to absolutely everyone, they have just been so amazing! Linzi is also a huge credit to the surgery, she is always so happy and chatty which is a lovely thing to first walk into! I don’t think I could go anywhere else now
Nothing but praise for this dental practice, Chole has been brilliant gave me a new smile, which I use all the time 😁All the staff, everyone is so friendly I actually like going to the dentist now.
Visited Church street dental practice after chipping three of my front teeth. Anita and the team were lovely booking me in straight away. Jonny the dentist who carried out the work was excellent, really pleased with the results! Couldn’t fault the service from start to finish, wouldn’t go anywhere else now!
I had a broken tooth and was seen very soon after my phone call to the practice. I am very happy with the work done and the advice given. Thank you very much!
I've been going to Church Street Dental Practice a year or 2 now and I wouldn't go elsewhere. The service is 10/10 both from Anita and her Great team which are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Had a couple of teeth extracted and never felt a thing at all. Think this practice would be great if your a nervous patient etc 👍🏼
