Children's Dentist in Cheam
Gentle, friendly dental care to give your little ones the best start for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
A Kids Dentist Your Children Will Actually Want to Visit
Taking your child to the dentist doesn’t have to be a battle. In fact, when children have positive experiences early on, they’re far more likely to grow into adults who take good care of their teeth.
At Nonsuch Park Dental, we love welcoming little ones to the practice. Our approach to paediatric dentistry in Cheam is gentle, patient, and designed to make every visit feel like a positive experience. We take our time, explain things in a way children can understand, and never rush or force anything.
Whether it’s your child’s very first visit or they’re due for a regular check-up, our friendly team will help them feel safe and comfortable in the chair.
What to Expect From Our Family Dental Care
A children’s check-up at Nonsuch Park Dental is relaxed and unhurried. We start by getting to know your child and letting them get comfortable with the environment. Dr Tobi will gently examine their teeth, gums, and bite, checking that everything is developing as it should.
We’ll talk to both you and your child about what we find, and give you practical advice on brushing, diet, and looking after those all-important baby teeth. If any treatment is needed, we’ll explain everything clearly and take things at your child’s pace.
A Children’s Dental Health Review costs £35. We recommend bringing children in as soon as their baby teeth come.
Regular visits help them build confidence and establish good habits early.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend bringing children in as soon as their baby teeth come.
Early visits help them get used to the environment and build positive associations with dental care.
How often should my child have a check-up?
All kids need to be seen 3 to 6 months.
Dr Tobi will advise on the right frequency based on your child’s individual needs.
What if my child is nervous or scared?
It is quite common for children to feel hesitant coming into a new environment, such as a dental practice, but we’re very experienced at helping anxious little ones feel at ease. We take things slowly, use simple language, and let your child set the pace. Many nervous children end up enjoying their visits once they realise there’s nothing to worry about.
Do baby teeth really matter if they're going to fall out anyway?
Absolutely. Baby teeth help your child eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They also hold space for the adult teeth coming through. Decay in baby teeth can cause pain, infection, and problems for the permanent teeth underneath.
How can I help my child look after their teeth at home?
Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and make brushing part of your daily routine. We’ll give you tailored advice during your visit based on your child’s age and needs.
How can I prepare my child for a dental visit?
Children can naturally feel nervous about coming to the dentist. It is also common for parents and guardians to inadvertently to transfer their own fears to their children.
The key is to frame the upcoming visit positively as a fun trip where their teeth are checked and the dental team can help them get and keep their teeth and gums healthy. Avoid trying to scare or warn them of the potential negative consequences of not coming or complying when they come.
