At Ashtree House Dental, we believe every child deserves a positive experience at the dentist. Our friendly team makes every visit comfortable, fun, and stress-free for your child.
Baby teeth are far more important than they might seem. They hold space in the jaw for adult teeth, support your child’s ability to speak clearly, and play a key role in chewing and nutrition. When baby teeth are lost too early due to decay or injury, the surrounding teeth can drift and create crowding problems for the permanent teeth that follow.
Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood conditions, yet it is almost entirely preventable with good habits and regular dental visits. At Ashtree House Dental, we work hard to build a positive relationship with every child from an early age, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Our team detects decay early and uses gentle techniques to stop it before it spreads to the root or neighbouring teeth.
Tooth sensitivity
We identify the cause of sensitivity and recommend the right treatments, including fluoride varnish and sealants.
We monitor jaw development closely and refer to a trusted orthodontist when early intervention can simplify future treatment.
Our child-friendly approach uses gentle techniques, distraction tools, and a calm environment to build trust and confidence at every visit.
Your child is greeted by our friendly team at Ashtree House Dental. We take time to chat and let children explore the surgery at their own pace before any examination begins.
We check all teeth, gums, and jaw development, looking for any early signs of decay, bite issues, or developmental concerns.
Our team carries out a gentle polish to remove plaque and tartar. Where appropriate, we apply a fluoride varnish to strengthen enamel and protect against cavities.
We work with you and your child to build simple brushing and diet habits tailored to their age, with tips to make oral care fun at home.
Prevention is always better than cure. At Ashtree House Dental, we offer a range of protective treatments designed to keep your children’s teeth strong and healthy between visits.
A thin protective coating we paint onto the back teeth to seal deep grooves where bacteria and food easily become trapped.
Applied twice a year, our fluoride varnish application strengthens developing enamel and dramatically reduces the risk of new cavities forming.
We provide custom-fitted sports mouthguards to protect teeth during contact sports, reducing the risk of chipping, fracture, and tooth loss.
Our team offers practical, age-appropriate advice on snacking habits and drinks that protect enamel and support overall dental health.
We recommend bringing your child to Ashtree House Dental for their first visit as soon as their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday — whichever comes first. Our early visits are short and fun, giving your child the chance to meet our team and get comfortable with the environment before any treatment is ever needed.
After the first visit, we recommend check-ups every six months for most children. Some children with a higher risk of decay may benefit from more frequent visits — our dentist will advise you on the right schedule for your child.
At Ashtree House Dental, we always provide a full written estimate before any treatment begins. We are happy to walk through all options with you and answer any questions you may have.
