Dental Care For Children

Strong, healthy teeth start with good habits early on—and we believe learning about smiles should be fun.

At Gibside Dental, we make visits for children relaxed, friendly and full of encouragement.

Our calm, light-filled practice feels more like a cosy retreat than a dental practice, with plants, soft tones, and a gentle pace that helps little ones (and parents) feel at ease from the moment they arrive.

Children under 6 are welcome to the practice for free with adult members, whilst our child memberships start from plans priced at just £5 per month.

What to expect at an appointment

• Step 1 – A warm welcome: Our Patient Care Coordinator greets you with a smile and helps your child feel settled.
  
• Step 2 – Gentle checkup: We look at the teeth and gums carefully, explaining everything in simple language.
  
• Step 3 – Prevention first: If needed, we’ll recommend fluoride applications, fissure sealants or diet tips to help protect teeth.
  
• Step 4 – Building confidence: We take things at your child’s pace—whether it’s their very first visit or they’re a little anxious, our calm, friendly manner helps build trust.
