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

“I had a nightmare of a mouth... now I have a healthy smile.” ✨
 
When Jane first came to us, she was dealing with advanced gum disease, missing teeth, and a lack of confidence in her smile. Although dental implants were her goal, the first step was improving the health of her mouth.
 
Through commitment, regular hygiene visits, and ongoing support from our team, Jane achieved exactly that. Today, her gum disease is under control, her smile has been restored, and she no longer worries about gaps showing or dentures moving. 🦷
 
Thank you, Jane, for sharing your journey with us! ❤️

Did you know that sugar-free chewing gum could be a secret weapon in your oral health routine?! ✨
 
Chewing sugar-free gum for around 20 minutes after eating helps increase saliva flow, which can:
🦷 Wash away food particles and acids
🦷 Strengthen and protect tooth enamel
🦷 Reduce plaque build-up and the risk of decay
 
A simple habit that can support a healthier smile between brushes - give it a try if you don’t already! 🪥
On World No Tobacco Day, it’s important to remember that for many people, switching from smoking to vaping feels like a “safer” choice, but the detrimental effects on your mouth can still be significant.
 
Although vapes don’t contain tar like cigarettes, they can still impact your oral health by:
🦷 Trapping stains and causing discolouration from aerosols and flavourings
⚡ Contributing to faster enamel wear
🦠 Disrupting the balance of bacteria, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease
🩸 Reducing blood flow to the gums, which can slow healing
💧 Causing dry mouth and bad breath
 
If you vape, our team can help support your oral health with tailored advice during your Healthy Mouth Assessments 🪥✨

Neil has been a patient of ours for many years, but recently came to us after an impact injury to one of his lower front teeth while playing hockey. Over time, the tooth had darkened and he wasn’t happy with how it looked.
 
Using composite bonding, Mariam was able to carefully rebuild and blend the tooth so you’d never even know! ✨🦷

Are those ice lollies and cold drinks making you jump? Do you want to whiten your teeth for the summer but are worried they will be sensitive?🦷🍦
MI Paste could be your new best friend!
 
This topical paste is applied directly to the teeth and contains calcium and phosphate to help replenish and strengthen enamel, reducing sensitivity and protecting the teeth. It is incredibly effective and works almost immediately.
 
You can pick it up at the practice - and don’t forget, Sparkle Club members get 5% off all our oral hygiene products! ✨
 
And remember - tooth sensitivity can be a sign of thinning enamel or tooth decay, so do always come and get it checked.
