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.

Your Child's Sparkle Club Membership Includes

Dental Exams

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
