Childsmile
Form 2011 we are now a childsmile practice. This is designed to improve childrens dental health and make it less likely that they need fillings or have tooth decay. Your child will see Lisa, our trained childsmile nurse, once or twice a year. Lisa will give dietery advice, toothbrushing instruction and apply fluoride varnish, which makes your childs teeth less likely to develop tooth decay. Your child will see the dentist once a year, unitl they are seven, when they will stop seeing Lisa, and then see the dentist twice a year.
