Dental Health
At Oakley Road Dental Practice, we welcome children of all ages and encourage visits from the moment their first teeth appear. Early introductions to the dental chair help build familiarity and comfort, making future appointments feel easy and stress-free.
Our team is experienced in working with young patients and creates a supportive environment where kids feel relaxed and involved in their own dental care.

Check-Ups &
Prevention
We recommend children start six-monthly dental check-ups from around age 3. These visits allow us to:
- Monitor growth and tooth development
- Detect and treat early signs of decay or alignment issues
- Provide fluoride applications if needed
- Reinforce good brushing and flossing habits
- Offer diet and hygiene advice tailored to your child
Decay can progress quickly in young teeth, so regular check-ups are key to avoiding preventable problems.

Stages of
Growing Smiles
- Children usually begin losing baby teeth around age 6
- Permanent teeth continue to erupt into the teenage years
- It’s normal for teeth to look misaligned until all adult teeth are through, often by ages 10–16
