Children's Dentist
in Canary Wharf

You can bring your child to the dentist as soon as their first teeth appear — usually from around four to six months old. We recommend starting to brush your child's teeth as soon as that first tooth comes through, and booking their first formal dental examination around the age of two. Coming early helps children get used to the environment and builds a positive association with dental visits from the start.

The standard recommendation is every six months, as children's teeth, diet, and habits change rapidly during development. However, your dentist may adjust the frequency based on your child's individual needs — some children with higher decay risk benefit from more frequent visits, while others with excellent oral health may be seen less often.

Yes — baby teeth matter more than many parents realise. They help children chew and speak clearly, and they hold the space for permanent teeth to come through correctly. Some primary molars aren't lost until age 10–12, so leaving a cavity untreated can cause pain, gum and jaw infections, early tooth loss, and future orthodontic problems. Untreated decay also allows bacteria to multiply and potentially spread to the permanent teeth when they erupt.

Fissure sealants are a thin, clear or white protective coating applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth (molars), which have natural grooves and pits where food and bacteria can collect and be difficult to clean. The sealant fills these grooves, creating a smooth surface that is easier to keep clean and significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. The application is quick, painless, and highly effective as part of a preventive dental plan for children.
