Dentistry for Children

Here at Wish Dental, we’re passionate about supporting children and parents with dental care from day one. From education around brush to check ups from the time their very first tooth appears, we’re here to making dental care fun.

Dental Care for Children at Wish

Encouraging children to see both the fun and importance in looking after their teeth from day one is the key to creating a healthy relationship with dental care. Our team of friendly professionals are passionate about engaging with children and parents from the very start of their dental journey, providing education and advice that will help them look after their teeth throughout childhood and adult life.

We offer a range of services suitable for little ones from just months old, right through primary school and high school, all designed to be engaging and comfortable to build a positive association with the dentist.

The Importance of Childhood Dental Care

There are endless benefits to getting children engaged and excited by dental care from as young as possible. Our dentistry services for children aim to support their knowledge around their teeth and get them excited about looking after them.

  • Exposure to the dentist from just a few months old takes away any potential fear or apprehension around the environment as children grow up.
  • Prevention is better than cure! By keeping on top of children’s dental care, you can prevent any issues in later life and tackle then in their infancy.
  • Building a child’s education and interest in dental care will transfer into them wanting to look after their teeth and preventing potential future issues.

Teeth are the only part of the body that can’t repair themselves and therefore, you can’t leave dental health to chance. It is essential to give children the best possible chance of enjoying a healthy smile for their entire life by starting their care young.

What does a child's dentist appointment look like?

Children can start visiting the dentist from as soon as their very first tooth starts to appear. Our kind and caring team are always excited to welcome new faces to our clinic and children’s dentist appointments are designed to be light-hearted and fun. We have our mascot, Wishy, on hand to help younger children feel excited and engaged during their time in the clinic.

We will check that the child’s teeth are growing and developing correctly, check their gum health, provide advice on tooth brushing, oral hygiene and diet and of course, answer any questions the child or guardian may have.

As children grow older, their appointments adapt to their age, providing continuing support and advice throughout their childhood and adolescent years to ensure their smile remains healthy and happy for the long run.

I trust Tom and his team wholeheartedly to take care of me and my family. I wouldn’t consider any other practice despite not living in Poynton. I’m a nervous patient but have undergone complex procedures, including a dental implant, with ease and comfort. Our son has also been attending Tom’s practice since the age of 3, the whole team make him feel safe and comfortable. Couldn’t recommend high enough.

Linda Baker

My family have been with Wish Dental since it opened in Poynton. The staff are friendly and efficient and the hygienist is very thorough. Our dentist, Sion, is excellent and we have confidence in his care of our teeth. On the rare occasion we have needed treatment we have no problem in getting an early appointment. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Diana Lines

I could not recommend Tom and his team more highly. My daughter has had ongoing issues with a tooth needing a Root Canal. Everyone went above and beyond - than you soo much we couldn't have got through it without you.
