“ My child was very nervous about seeing the dentist regarding her over growing tooth as the last dentist was going to inject and remove. Dr Shaw and her dental nurse were fantastic at putting her at ease. She carried out a thorough check and gave sound and coherent advice. Thank you so much.”

Children at Urchfont Dental Care

We aim to make a visit to the dentist an enjoyable experience for children. If they enjoy their visit, they are more likely to invest in their own oral healthcare as they grow up. We have a ‘children’s zone’ in the waiting room, with a playhouse, books and toys. There is comfortable seating for children and their parents/carers.

Once in the treatment room, children are invited to be involved at every stage of their treatment, and the dentist will explain and discuss treatment options in detail with parents and carers.

We offer a range of dental services for children:

• FREE plaque disclosing sessions
  Children are invited to brush their teeth and then use plaque disclosing tablets to spot areas they are missing.
• Affordable bespoke sports’ guards in a wide range of colours and styles (including embedded name badges!)

We won the Private Dentistry Awards 2022 “Best Child-friendly Practice” category, and were finalists in the 2023 awards!

Bring your Baby to the Dentist #DCby1

We are supporting the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry’s ‘Dental Check by One’ campaign to promote early dental care for babies and toddlers. Babies should visit the dentist as soon as their first teeth appear, or at least by their 1st birthday.

In October 2019 we were awarded the NASDAL DCby1 Practice of the Year at the BDIA Dental Showcase for our work promoting dental care for children and babies.

We have a range of information and advice for keep young teeth healthy the minute they appear! Everything from early brushing techniques (which we all know can be pretty tricky in a baby’s mouth!) through to ideal snacks and drinks to stay healthy while staving off tooth decay.

And all new parents get a goody bag full of resources and supplies for your baby’s ongoing dental care!
