Dental Care For Children

Here at Smïl, we believe in building positive experiences for an increasingly healthy world. For decades, our team of friendly dentists has provided exceptional dental care for children.

When should I take my child 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 ours is an excellent place for your child to observe a parent having regular checkups.

What should I expect at my child’s first dental appointment?

Our experienced team of paediatric dentists in Kent 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 take a look at their freshly erupted teeth and check that everything is developing as healthily as it should be.

Our friendly children’s dentists in Chatham will provide you and your child with the advice and guidance they need to maintain a healthy smile through to adulthood. This could be oral health 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. It is important that their oral health is monitored as new teeth begin to form.

Our star patient’s visit is not complete without a special treat – of the sugar-free kind, of course.

Book your child’s dentist appointment today by calling our Kent practice on 01634 756 536.
