PEADIATRIC DENTISTRY
We love children and tiny teeth! From the Playstation and blackboard in our reception area, to cartoons playing on TV screens in our consultation rooms, we will do everything possible to make a visit to the dentist fun.
Oral hygiene
Primary teeth play a vital role in the proper alignment and spacing of permanent teeth and it is therefore important that they are well cared for. We can take care of your child's teeth using gentle dentistry techniques and teach them how to take care of their teeth.

Space maintainers
When a primary tooth is lost prematurely a space maintainer may be necessary to keep a gap for the permanent tooth that will eventually replace it. While a space maintainer might not always be necessary, a consultation with your dentist is the best place to start.
