Paediatric Dentistry

At Smïl, we believe positive dental experiences lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. For decades, our friendly team has delivered high-quality paediatric dentistry and childrens dental care, helping young patients feel comfortable and confident at every visit.

When should I take my kids to the dentist?

There is no exact age for your child’s first dental appointment. You may not need to take your child to the dentist until their first milk teeth have emerged, but the more often they visit the dentist, the less daunting the experience is for them. Bringing your child along to an appointment will help them become used to the environment. 

A comfortable and welcoming dental practice, like our clinic in Chatham, is an excellent place for your child to observe a parent having regular checkups, allowing them to be more comfortable about visiting us.

What should I expect at my childrens first paediatric dental care appointment?

Our experienced team of childrens dentists in Chatham are here to guide both you and your child. The first and foremost goal is to build a relationship of trust with both you and your child. We’ll speak with your child in a language they can understand to build a connection with them, making routine visits fun for the whole family. We will then take a look at their freshly erupted teeth to ensure healthy development.

Our friendly kids dentists will provide you and your child with the advice and guidance they need to maintain a healthy smile through to adulthood. This would be advice on brushing, diet, tooth development, tooth decay risks and much more. Between the ages of 5-10, your child will lose multiple baby teeth. During this time, it is important that their oral health is monitored as new teeth begin to form, which is why regular checkups are crucial for optimal paediatric dental care.

To make it extra special, our star patient’s visit is not complete without a special treat (of the sugar-free kind, of course).

Rest assured, our team of highly dedicated and experienced kids dentists have the well-being of your child in mind. That is why we encourage any questions from both you and your child to put both your minds at ease. Book your childrens dentist  appointment today by calling our Chatham practice on 01634 756 536, or contact us here. We cant wait to meet our little  Smïl Champion.
