The newspapers have recently caught on to the shocking state of childrens' teeth: dental problems account for the number 1 reason for hospital admissions in 6- 10 year olds, costing millions of pounds per year.

For a largely preventable disease, we think this is a deeply saddening situation and is extremely distressing for the child and parent alike.

We encourage attendance right from the start to develop confidence and trust, so that a visit to the dentist is fun and relaxed. Hopefully, the combination of regular diet advice and dental care will help reverse the trend of dental decay.

The Staff have recently put up a "sugar shocker" display, highlighting the amount of hidden sugars in foods...there are some real surprises. Take a look next time your'e passing.
