Dental Care for Children

Healthy smiles start early.

Our approach to children’s dentistry focuses on prevention, positive experiences and supportive guidance for families, helping children build good habits from the very beginning and grow up feeling relaxed and comfortable in the dental environment.

We believe that when children feel safe, understood and encouraged, they’re far more likely to develop a lifelong, healthy relationship with looking after their teeth and gums.

Why families choose us for children’s dental care
  • Kind, patient-centred care that helps children feel calm and secure.
  • Prevention-first approach to protect teeth and gums as they grow.
  • Support for parents with practical home-care guidance and advice.
  • Early monitoring of growth, development and alignment.
  • Age-appropriate education to help children understand their own oral health.
  • A friendly, welcoming environment that makes visits feel positive rather than worrying.

Testimonials

What our patients say

The whole team are friendly and supportive and really takes care of you. The dental hygienist is super caring and friendly. They put your health above all. My experience has been great every time, whether a quick check with the dentist or a longer appointment with the dental hygienist; I’ve always walked out smiling.

Wolf Hill Academy

Amazing service from Dr Ahmed, Daniah, and the team. I’ve had multiple treatments done by these guys and have been elated by the service and support of the staff each time. Dr Ahmed is extremely thorough with each procedure, and Daniah is super welcoming and great at carrying on conversations!

Aleena Jilani

Lovely family environment. They are always on time, and I never have to wait over 5 minutes before my appointment. My hygienists today were Don and Leanne, and both were very friendly. Made me feel very welcome and did a wonderful job. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Vrinda Makharia

All-round solid experience. I've never really liked the dentist, but this one doesn't stress me out. I had Daniah this time; she stayed calm when there was a bit of a hiccup with a machine, and everything was fine. Good stuff.

Building healhty habits at home

We work with families to help children understand how small daily actions support healthy teeth:

  • Balanced diets and snack awareness, encouraging foods that support teeth and limiting frequent sugary snacks and drinks.
  • Brushing twice daily with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, with adult help for younger children.
  • Flossing & interdental care once age-appropriate.
  • Making brushing fun, routine and consistent; timers, songs or simple rewards can help build positive habits.

Our goal is to make oral care feel achievable, not overwhelming.

Additional support as your child grows

  • Teething guidance to ease discomfort safely.
  • Early orthodontic reviews to spot developing bite or alignment issues.
  • Sealants for back teeth where cavity risk is higher.
  • Custom sports mouthguards for active children.

We’ll always recommend what is appropriate, proportionate and in your child’s best interests.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Visiting the dentist often raises questions. Here are some common ones at Long Lane Dental, and our team is always happy to help.

When should I bring my child to the dentist? plus brown transparent brown circle icon minus brown transparent brown circle icon

We recommend bringing your child to see us when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early visits help us check that everything is developing as it should and, just as importantly, they help children get used to the sights, sounds and rhythms of the dental setting.

Regular visits from a young age help normalise the experience, reduce the likelihood of future anxiety, and build trust over time.

How often should my child see the dentist? plus brown transparent brown circle icon minus brown transparent brown circle icon

Most children benefit from visits every six months, though we may suggest more frequent reviews if needed.

What if my child is nervous? plus brown transparent brown circle icon minus brown transparent brown circle icon

That’s completely normal. We use a gentle, reassuring approach and help build confidence gradually.

Do baby teeth really matter if they fall out? plus brown transparent brown circle icon minus brown transparent brown circle icon

Yes, healthy baby teeth support speech, nutrition, alignment and jaw development.

When should orthodontic concerns be checked? plus brown transparent brown circle icon minus brown transparent brown circle icon

We begin monitoring alignment early and may recommend assessment as adult teeth come through.
