Prevention first
Through Childsmile, we help families look after children's teeth from the start: practical toothbrushing advice, tips on food and drink, and fluoride varnish to help protect teeth against decay. The aim is simple: fewer fillings and confident children.
A good first visit
Young children often do best when the first visit is just a ride in the chair and a look at their teeth. We'll go at their pace. If your child has additional support needs, call ahead so we can plan the visit, the time of day and who they'll see.
Dr Kalumba Simumba has a clinical interest in children's and special needs dentistry, and sees patients at both our practices.
NHS or private?
NHS dental treatment is free for everyone under 26. Your dentist will always explain the options and give you a written estimate before treatment starts. How NHS charges and private fees work.
