Two children, a girl and a boy, enjoying a positive dental visit at Accent Your Dentist, helping build healthy smiles for life.

Children

Good dental habits start early. Our children's dental care is focused on helping younger patients feel comfortable, confident and supported while we monitor their teeth, gums and bite as they grow.

At Accent, we make visits calm and positive, with clear explanations for both children and parents. From routine check-ups to preventive care, brushing advice and early development checks, our goal is to help protect your child's smile for the long term.

As your smile grows and changes, so do your oral health needs. From primary school children learning healthy habits, to teenagers navigating developing smiles, and young adults establishing lifelong dental routines, our team provides personalised care and guidance to support healthy, confident smiles at every stage of life.

  • A first visit is usually gentle, simple and focused on making your child feel comfortable. We check the teeth and gums, look at how everything is developing and explain things in a calm, age-appropriate way.

    During the appointment, we may:

    • Count and check the teeth

    • Look at gum health

    • Review brushing habits

    • Discuss diet and sugar intake

    • Answer any questions from parents

    The goal is to make the dentist feel familiar, not scary.

  • Most children should see the dentist every 6 months. Regular visits help us monitor growth, prevent decay and pick up any small concerns early.

    These visits are important for:

    • Checking baby and adult teeth

    • Monitoring bite development

    • Preventing cavities

    • Reinforcing good home care

    • Helping children stay confident with dental visits

    Some children may need more frequent appointments depending on their dental needs.

  • Tooth decay is common in children, but it can often be prevented with good daily habits and regular dental care. Brushing well, limiting sugary snacks and drinks and attending routine visits all make a big difference.

    Helpful habits include:

    • Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

    • Helping younger children brush properly

    • Limiting sugary drinks and frequent snacking

    • Encouraging water between meals

    • Booking regular check-ups

    We can also show your child which areas need extra attention when brushing.

  • The primary school years are an important stage for developing strong oral health habits and ensuring growing teeth and jaws are developing as they should.

    • Regular dental check-ups and preventive care

    • Monitoring the transition from baby teeth to adult teeth

    • Early detection and treatment of tooth decay

    • Fluoride treatments to help strengthen teeth

    • Fissure sealants to protect vulnerable molars

    • Oral hygiene education tailored for children

    • Advice on healthy eating and reducing sugary snacks and drinks

    • Custom sports mouthguards for active children

    Our friendly team focuses on making dental visits positive, comfortable, and fun, helping children build confidence and healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

  • Anatolii

    “I recently visited Accent Dentists and had a great experience with Matt and the team. Matt clearly explained my options, what steps to take next, and what should be prioritised which made everything feel simple and stress-free. I genuinely felt well looked after throughout the visit. I also had my teeth cleaned by the hygienist and was really happy with the service, professional, friendly and thorough.
    I’m actually looking forward to my next visit (yes, to the dentist ). Highly recommend!”

  • Kirsty G.

    "My daughter loved visiting Dr. Matt, and we were thrilled with how quickly and effectively her treatment worked."

  • Lara Wobcke

    “Accent dental is amazing and the service from Lucy and Karen was second to none. My son has always been scared of going to the dentist and he left his appointment today after seeing Karen saying that she is the BEST and wants to go back more often because he had so much fun. Not at all what I was expecting to hear from a 10year old. Thank you so much!”

  • Allison

    “My 7-year-old daughter had her first filling done yesterday by Jade, and I was amazed at how cooperative she was throughout the entire process. She wasn’t scared or in pain — in fact, she only thought her tooth had a “bandage” put on and got a little shower!

    Thank you, Jade — you are amazing. The team even followed up with a phone call and an email to check in on my daughter, which truly impressed me. This level of care is outstanding customer service and absolutely deserves a five-star review.”
