Dental care is really important for children and the sooner children are introduced to a dentist, the better. We love having children around and our team is really friendly. Our dentists have experience in caring for little ones and they do their utmost to entertain children, reassure them and answer any questions they have. We know that some kids feel very apprehensive about seeing a dentist and we are able to use different techniques to make sure that children feel comfortable and relaxed.

Regular check-ups are a really effective way of reducing the risk of a child developing gum disease and cavities and they allow dentists to keep tabs on any problems and resolve any issues very early before they start to cause pain and unwanted hassle. As well as routine appointments, we also offer preventative dental treatments to protect the teeth and help keep decay at bay.

Family dentistry

We understand that often, time is a luxury and we offer family appointments to enable you to bring everyone together and save you from having to worry about childcare or finding the time to arrange a number of separate sessions. We aim to promote healthy smiles for all our patients and we recommend six monthly check-ups.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic issues are very common and we tend to spot the signs early on. Often, the best course of action is to intervene when children are still fairly young, at around the age of 12-16 years old, as the results tend to be very pleasing and early treatment prevents children from suffering unnecessarily.

We also offer adult orthodontic treatment and the range of systems is increasing all the time, so we are able to offer discreet, quick and comfortable treatments.

Getting involved with your Children’s Teeth in Central Leeds

Thursday, December 5th, 2013

318711_blogChildren’s teeth will always be complex to look after as they will go through many changes as they grow, which means as a parent, you will need to be ready for every eventuality as these things happen. You don’t have to do it alone though and by enlisting a good dentist in central Leeds, it will ease many of your worries as your children grow up. From the moment a child teethes, their teeth will be under the threat of decay, so it is down to you to keep them clean and free of bacteria; diet is vital here too in order to keep the teeth strong. The next major ‘crisis’ will be when the adult teeth come through and again, your child will be vulnerable to infection and decay, so you will need to be prepared. You can have your kids fitted with dental sealants once these teeth are through and this will eliminate the problem of tooth decay in the foreseeable future. The last possible problem that may crop-up as children go through their teens is orthodontic treatments and the fitting of braces/aligners. All of this costs money as well, so you will be advised to set up insurance or payment plans in order to spread the costs for all of these things that your kids will go through.

Stepping up to the mark for your children’s oral health in Central Leeds

Saturday, October 5th, 2013

318711_blogIf there is going to be a difficult time as a parent bringing up a child in central Leeds, it will be caring for their oral health and as soon as a baby is born, there will be some very radical changes going on in your children’s mouths as they get older, so you as a parent will need to be ready for this. The cost of dentistry doesn’t come cheap so unless you are very affluent money-wise, you are going to have to sit down with a dentist and find a way of coping with the financial issues that may come your way. Once you have got this done, then you will have to nurse you kids through early teething, secondary teeth and then possibly braces. You will need to feed them correctly, teach them how to brush their teeth properly and steer them away from yummy and sugary foods that will cause tooth decay, as this can result in more financial troubles as well. It will not be an easy ride for you, but you do have your dentist to help you out. Also, do your research beforehand, as this can help you to make informed decisions about your children’s oral health as they grow up.

Taking an interest on your Kids Teeth in the City of Leeds

Saturday, July 6th, 2013

318711_blogIt’s probably safe to say that all parents in the city of Leeds would like to set their kids off, the best they can, to a long and healthy lifestyle: diet and sport are just two of the ingredients in this. But most vitally, as a parent, you must be very vigilant with their teeth, as they will go through some extreme changes as your child grows up. Your children will teethe when they are babies, and soon after, have their secondary teeth come through, maybe wear braces and then suffer with wisdom teeth as they move into adulthood. Throughout all of this, kids are very vulnerable to tooth decay and may need a lot of treatment at the dentists and you must be ready for all of this. In the beginning, finding a paediatrician is vital, and soon after, a dentist, who can help ease the threat. Teaching your kids to care for themselves and brush correctly with some of the excellent brushes and toothpastes on the market, plus feeding them right and keeping them away from sweets and fizzy drinks, the best you can, is of the utmost importance here. You can have your children fitted with dental sealants to beat the decay and your dentist will be on hand to fix them up when things go wrong. However, this all comes at a financial cost and from the moment your kids are born, you are going to find a method of paying for treatments, especially orthodontic work, as this can get costly.

Handling your Kid’s teeth in Leeds

Sunday, January 13th, 2013

By the time your kids have left the nest, you will have probably had enough and a little fed up with having to looking after them (until they walk out the door- of course you’ll miss them!). But you can at least rest easy that you have given them the best start in life by bringing them up healthy, and that goes for their oral health too, because you would have seen them go through some radical changes over the years. The moment you brought them into the world in Leeds, their teeth were always going to be something to keep on top of. The first hurdle would have been to nurse them through teething. After that, it would have been secondary teeth, by which time you’d have found them a good dentist and taught them how to brush their teeth properly. Then just when you thought you could relax, they might well have required some orthodontic treatment to get their teeth straightened. And who knows, maybe you didn’t have the heart to get rid of them until you were sure they got through the wisdom teeth period as well. All this requires dedication to your children, planning and money, so you must have loved them, and they you, otherwise, they wouldn’t have flowered into beautiful adults and still keep coming round for Sunday dinner!

Making your Child smile in the City of Leeds

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Seeing a child smile is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Their smile can be missing teeth, but it just doesn’t matter as it reflects the way they are growing- as we all did. But it is only made more poignant if you know deep in your heart that their teeth are healthy and that they are growing up healthy too. If you are bringing up your child in the city of Leeds, you obviously want to give them the best start that you can, and their teeth are just as important as their diet- in fact, both go hand in hand. But it can be a bit scary for you at first as there is a hell of a lot to learn about. Pediatricians are your best ally here and will help you through those tricky early years of teething and secondary teeth; they will teach you how to reduce the pain that your child may go through during this time, give you tips on what to look for and be there for you if things go wrong. Once you’ve got through this, a dentist will take over to ensure that your child doesn’t fall foul of the biggest danger of all- tooth decay. Kids love to indulge in everything that is bad for their teeth, because they adore everything sweet so their teeth need extra vigilance during this period. They also need to be taught how to look after their teeth with good brushing so that they can do it when you have your back turned. It’s not rocket science but it is significantly important: what you do for your child’s teeth during these growing years will impact on how their teeth develop and how they end up smiling in later life.
