We believe that coming to the dentist should be a fun and educational experience for kids.

We’re also keen to support you as a parent or guardian whenever we can so that you can help your child nurture healthy oral hygiene habits for the future.

Building confidence and trust

It’s really common for kids to refuse to let the dentist check them over during their first few visits, which is completely understandable. Your child’s first appointments are to build their confidence and help them feel they can trust us to examine their teeth. These early appointments also familiarise them with what will be a brand new and alien environment. It can take several appointments to create a foundation of trust.

Our dentists believe that positive reinforcement and a sense of humour and fun are pivotal when it comes to working with kids. Our promise to you and your child is to make dentist visits feel stress-free, and enjoyable to ensure you come away from check-ups feeling like the experience has been beneficial.

FAQs

What happens during my child’s check-ups?

During your child’s check-ups, we will examine their teeth, the soft tissues in their mouth, and their jaw development. If signs of decay are present, restorative treatment like fillings might be needed to stop this from progressing. Preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride treatment may be advised if your child has suffered from repeated decay.

What if my child needs a specific treatment?

If your child develops more complex dental issues, our multidisciplinary team can provide the specialist treatment they need, such as the restoration of worn teeth as a result of decay and root canal treatment to reverse the symptoms of a dental infection.

My child is extremely nervous – how can you help with this?

The White House clinical team have a genuine interest in helping children to feel safe when they visit the dentist. We believe in only working with dentists and dental nurses who value the personal touch, and who possess qualities such as patience and empathy, which we think are extremely valuable in a medical professional.

For children with an extreme and deep-rooted fear of the dentist, we may be able to offer sedation, which helps to relax them whilst an examination or treatment is performed.

As a parent or guardian, what can I learn during my child’s check-ups?

We know exactly how challenging it can be to encourage children to brush for the right length of time and to eat foods that won’t destroy their teeth. If you feel you’re fighting a bit of a losing battle at home with your child, we can talk you through some techniques and communication tips on how to nurture good habits. We strongly encourage you to talk to us if you’re feeling a little stuck with this.
