Your child’s dental care
Children are born free of dental disease, yet by adulthood 95%
of the population have active gum disease and most people have experienced
some tooth decay and even tooth loss. We will work with you to help
prevent this happening. Our aim is to provide you child with the
best dental care available to secure their dental health. We ask
parents to register their children from birth so that we can see
them twice a year on the NHS to help them grow up free from dental
disease. However, if they do need treatment, we can offer them alternatives
not available on the NHS, such as mercury -free white fillings.
To the children of members of our members of our Dental are Plan
we can offer these alternatives on the same terms as their parents.
