Children's
Dentistry

How you care for your teeth from a young age will affect your dental health for the rest of your life. As a family dental practice, we believe that it is important for children to get in the habit of having regular dental check-ups. This assists them in maintaining a lifetime of good dental habits!

Here at Dental Care Smithfield, we are a family dental practice, and we welcome children of all ages with a friendly and calm environment.

The health of your children’s teeth and mouth is crucial. Even though routine brushing and flossing at home are necessary to keep your child’s smile looking healthy, visiting the dentist for an oral examination is essential. In addition, we can clean their teeth, take X-rays, and provide a fluoride treatment if required. At your visit, we will provide helpful information and address any questions you might have about the oral health of your children. We endeavour to make your child’s dental visit an enjoyable one as well as teaching them healthy habits and a positive dental mindset that will support your children throughout life.
