Children Dentistry in Handforth

At Cheadle Dental Practice, we offer quality children’s pediatric dentistry that is set in a fun, gentle, and positive environment.

We have highly experienced children’s dentistry doctors who help the child understand what is going to happen and generally provide a fun, interesting experience for the child.

We carefully examine the development of their mouth, including crowding, appearance of calcium deposits, abnormality in the number of teeth, baby bottle tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ, and signs of prolonged problems such as thumb-sucking and teething. We take X-rays when needed. We clean and polish teeth and apply fluoride when needed.

We also explain to the child how a healthy diet relates to healthy teeth, and we demonstrate the correct way to brush the teeth.

What age should children first visit the dentist?

Ideally, children should see a dentist by their first birthday or when the first tooth erupts. Early visits help to establish healthy oral habits, prevent tooth decay, and allow the dentist to monitor your child’s dental development. Our Handforth practice provides gentle, child-friendly care to make your child’s first visit positive and stress-free, building a lifetime of healthy smiles.

How much do children’s dentist visits cost?

Kids’ dental examinations at our Handforth clinic start from as little as £15, making it affordable for families to keep up with regular check-ups. Even better, children are free to visit when their parents are registered with us. Regular check-ups help to catch and prevent dental problems early, ensuring your child’s teeth stay healthy and strong.

What happens at a child’s dental examination?

At a child’s dental examination, our friendly dentists will carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw development. We also offer advice on brushing, flossing, diet, and habits such as thumb-sucking that can impact oral health. The visit is designed to be comfortable and educational, so that children feel relaxed and confident about visiting the dentist. Our Handforth clinic specialises in providing a positive, stress-free experience for kids of all ages.
