Your Child's Dental Care.
Children are born free of dental disease, yet by adulthood 95% of the population has active gum disease and most people have experienced some tooth decay and even tooth loss. It is our belief that disease can be prevented. Our aim is to provide your child with the best Dental Care available to secure their dental health. We ask parents to register their children from birth so that we can see them twice a year on the NHS to help them grow up free from dental disease. However, if they do need treatment, we can offer them alternatives not generally available on the NHS, such as mercury -free white fillings, laughing gas and hypnosis to relieve anxiety and stress. To the children of members of our Dental Care Plans, we can offer these alternatives on the same terms as their parents
