Get your kids ready for teeth for life

If you want to set up life-long behaviours in your kids, you need to start in early childhood. That’s why, at Harley Street Dental Clinic, we believe that it’s best to start them on visits to our dental clinic in W1 as soon as you can.

We want to get your children into good dental habits because we know the serious and extensive effects of untreated dental decay. We recommend that you start bringing your children for check-ups from the age of 12 months.

W1 Dental ClinicWhen their first teeth are through, we recommend fluoride applications to safeguard against decay. At the dental clinic in W1, our dentists paint the fluoride onto the teeth to help mineralise them. We also use tooth-coloured fissure sealants, applying them to the biting surface of the teeth as a way to prevent decay.

As well as fighting against decay, we need to be able to keep an eye on the development of your children’s teeth and jaws so that we can diagnose bite problems early on. Early treatment can prevent them from developing.
