Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Dental hygiene for children and teens is the professional cleaning and preventive care that keeps teeth and gums healthy as they grow. A consultation tells us how long these visits should be and how often your child needs to come back.
Our dentists and hygienists provide this care at our Primrose Hill practice.
Watching a child struggle with decay or persistent plaque is frustrating. Left alone, a dental infection can spread to neighbouring teeth, so we act early. Our paediatric dentistry in London starts with getting plaque under control and teaching the brushing habits that keep it off.
Where we need to see below the surface, we use dental x-rays for an accurate picture before recommending anything. Whether your child needs a routine clean or a fuller plan, we set it out clearly.
We plan every visit around your child's stage of development, and we diagnose before we treat so you see a clear plan before any work begins. Children's care is provided by our dentists, Dr Nicky Dehbonei and Dr Lydia Dzhukha, with the practice led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, a GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
Where a child needs more than cleaning, we add it to the plan: fissure sealants to protect molars, or special needs dentistry for children with disabilities. The consultation gives you an itemised breakdown of costs.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Children and teenagers are often nervous about the dentist, and a first appointment can be stressful for parents too. We slow the visit down and put comfort first. Whether your child has a specific concern or you are moving from NHS care to private treatment, we start from where things are now rather than dwelling on missed check-ups.
An examination sets the frequency of visits and tells us whether children's fillings are needed. Details of paediatric dentistry costs in London help you plan the visit.
We examine your child's teeth and gums and confirm the time and cost of what is needed. Where we see early decay, we discuss options such as silver diamine fluoride.
We remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces, working gently and pausing whenever your child needs a break.
We show your child how to brush and floss effectively. Our children's dental aftercare guide has more detail for home.
We set a schedule for future visits based on your child's decay risk and how well they manage at home.
Our preventive services for children include fluoride treatments, children's dental exams and cleanings, and dental hygiene for children and teens.
Our clinical team repairs damaged teeth with tooth-coloured composite resin where a filling is needed.
We also offer nutrition advice for families, because diet does most of the work in keeping a child's teeth free of decay.
We confirm the cost at the initial appointment, once we have assessed your child's needs.
Recall times vary. We recommend an interval based on your child's needs. There is more on children's dental exams and cleanings.
Our hygienists choose the instruments and techniques to suit your child's age and sensitivity.
The child's stage of development. Baby teeth, mixed dentition and teenage mouths each need a different approach, and we adapt to each.
Our dentists decide the right frequency and approach for your child during a children's dental consultation, which you can book here. We provide these visits at the practice in Primrose Hill.
