Children

Berkhamsted dental practice offers family dental care for patients of all ages. We like to get to know our patients and their families so we can offer dental care and advice that is tailored to each person’s needs. We love to watch as our younger patients grow up to have happy, healthy smiles.

Our team includes partner Claire Rogers who has been a registered specialist in Paediatric Dentistry since 2000. We have hygienists, dental therapists and oral health educators and a visiting consultant orthodontist, Giles Kidner, who offers orthodontic treatment (braces).

We offer a full range of preventative dental care including oral hygiene instruction, diet advice, fluoride treatments and fissure sealants. Where necessary we can provide fillings and other dental treatments using gentle caring techniques and state of the art equipment. We have a children’s play area and selection of children’s books and comics at reception and offer all our young patients a take home gift after their visit.

We would encourage parents to bring younger patients for their first dental visit by the age of 1, if not earlier. Younger children are very welcome to accompany their parents when they have dental appointments so they can get used to the sights sounds and smells of the dental surgery. We aim to reinforce the positive point that visiting the dentist is fun!

Preventing accidental damage to children’s teeth is also very important. We can provide and fit custom made sportsguards or “Gum shields” when your child needs one.
