Children

We care for patients of all ages – including your little ones.

At Nothing But The Tooth, children are seen exclusively through our Mini Sparklers Club, a membership plan designed to encourage regular attendance and build healthy habits from an early age.

If a child keeps their teeth filling-free into their twenties, they are much less likely to need fillings in adulthood. Our children’s Sparkle Club allows us to monitor your child’s oral health closely, spotting potential issues early and helping them maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.

Guidance & Support

Guidance & Support

We teach your child how to care for their teeth effectively to encourage healthy habits.

When should I start taking my child to the dentist?

The answer is it’s earlier than you think!

In the UK, the NHS recommends that children see a dentist as soon as their first milk tooth appears, and no later than their first birthday. Starting early helps set the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health and allows problems to be spotted before they become serious.

Why join the Mini Sparklers Club?

Lower Cost

Spread the cost of your child’s routine dental care with simple monthly payments, while enjoying member-only pricing and exclusive benefits.

Priority Care

As a member, your child will receive priority access to appointments and support, giving you peace of mind that your dental care is there when you need it most.

Less Treatment

Regular preventative care and early detection help catch issues sooner, reducing the likelihood of more complex treatment and supporting a healthier smile for the long term.

Membership Options

We offer plans tailored to every level of dental care needs, using a simple Red, Amber, Green system to guide the frequency and type of care your child requires. Your child’s dentist or therapist will recommend the plan that best supports their individual oral health and overall wellbeing.

  • Green Sparklers: Routine care for children with a low risk of dental problems.
  • Amber Sparklers: Regular care and preventive support for children with moderate risk.
  • Red Sparklers: More frequent care and close monitoring for children with higher risk factors.

Children FAQs

Who is eligible for the Mini Sparklers Club?

Membership is designed for children of all ages up to 18, helping them build healthy habits and maintain strong teeth and gums from an early age.

Can my child join if they already have dental problems?

Yes! The plan is suitable for children at any stage of dental health. Membership allows us to provide tailored care based on your child’s needs.

How often will my child need appointments?

The frequency of appointments depends on your child’s risk level, using our Red, Amber, Green system to guide care. Your dentist or therapist will recommend the best schedule for them.

What’s included in the membership?

Membership includes all of your child’s routine care, including healthy mouth assessment, preventative care treatment and advice, fluoride application, professional cleaning and guidance on oral hygiene, and monitoring for early signs of dental issues. They also receive a 10% discount on all clinically necessary treatment, and a 5% discount on oral hygiene products, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste

What if my child is nervous about dental visits?

That is absolutely fine. We are a dental-phobia certified practice, and our team is experienced in supporting nervous children, using gentle care and techniques to make visits comfortable and stress-free.

Can I cancel or change my child’s plan?

All child patients are placed on a plan to ensure they receive the care that is necessary to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Your child’s dentist or therapist may adjust the plan as needed to keep their oral health on track, but this is the clinician’s choice based on their professional assessment. You can cancel membership, but only if your child is leaving the practice. Every aspect of the plan is designed to protect and support your child’s long-term dental health

Any guesses what this is...? 👀

If you said a super snazzy scanner... you'd be right!

This is a CBCT scanner – a specialised 3D imaging system that captures highly detailed images to create a precise digital view of your teeth, jawbones, nerves, and surrounding structures.

CBCT scans are particularly useful for treatments such as dental implants, root canal therapy, and orthodontics, where a traditional X-ray may not provide enough detail for accurate planning and safe and effective treatment.

We're in the process of having one installed at the practice, allowing us to provide even more advanced care for our patients in-house.

Did you know that retainers are for life, not just for treatment?! ✨

A very common reason why adults need braces for a second time is because they stopped wearing their retainers after orthodontic treatment as a child.

This is because teeth naturally move throughout life, even years after braces and, without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back towards their original positions.

This movement can be minimised by wearing either:
🦷 A fixed retainer bonded behind the teeth
🦷 A removable retainer worn every night

If you've invested time, effort, and money into creating a beautiful smile, make sure you protect it!

Did you know that your check-up could save your life? 💙🦷

If you’ve been putting off your dental check-up, now is a great time to get it booked in.

During your appointment, we don’t just check your teeth, gums, and bite — we also carry out an oral cancer screening. This helps provide peace of mind that everything is healthy, or allows us to identify anything unusual early, when treatment is often most effective.

✅ A simple check-up could make all the difference.

Did you know that at NBTT, silver fillings are a thing of the past? 🦷

Almost every filling our dentists place are made of composite resin, meaning they are so natural-looking they're virtually undetectable.

Carefully colour-matched to your teeth, composite fillings restore strength and function while also blending seamlessly into your smile. Whether you're replacing an old silver filling or treating a new cavity, modern dentistry means your filling doesn't have to look like a filling at all! ✨😊
Please note that the practice is closed today, Friday 17th July, so our team can complete our annual CPR and Medical Emergencies training.

If you have any non-urgent enquiries while we are closed, please leave us a phone message or send us an email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding!
We were thrilled to welcome the England team to the practice this morning for a quick check-up before hopping back on a flight to the US for their semi-final this evening! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hopefully there'll be LOTS of smiles on show tonight, so we wanted to make sure their teeth were looking sparkling for the occasion. ✨

Good luck, England! 🏆⚽
