At Hanwell Smiles, we’re passionate about helping children build positive dental habits that last a lifetime. Our gentle, friendly team takes the time to make every child feel safe, calm, and understood — whether it’s their first visit or a regular check-up.
We know that early experiences shape future attitudes toward oral health. That’s why we offer thoughtful, age-appropriate care and clear advice for parents and carers too.
We believe going to the dentist should be fun, not scary. Our team uses kind communication, gentle techniques, and a warm atmosphere to create a calm, positive experience. We even encourage kids to ask questions and be curious about their teeth!
From tiny toddlers to teens, we tailor every visit to suit their needs and help them grow up smiling with confidence.
Children’s teeth are more vulnerable to decay and damage. Routine visits help us spot issues early, prevent future problems, and guide your child’s oral health journey as they grow.
Strong habits start young — and we’re here to support every step of the way.
It’s recommended that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing.
Just like adults, children should have a checkup every 6 months to monitor growth and prevent problems.
Yes. Dental X-rays use very low radiation and are safe for children. They help the dentist check tooth development and detect hidden issues.
Keep it positive, talk about the dentist as a friendly helper, and avoid using words like “pain” or “hurt.” Reading children’s books about the dentist can also help.
Encourage daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular checkups.
