Caring, Educational Dentistry For Children
We believe that caring for children’s teeth and teaching them about good oral health is vital to their lifelong wellbeing. At Manor House Dental Practice, families are warmly welcomed, and we strive to make every child’s visit enjoyable, informative, and stress-free. Education plays a key role in helping children develop healthy habits that last a lifetime — from proper brushing techniques to understanding the importance of diet and regular check-ups. We’re also delighted to offer 50% off all routine treatments for children, helping families access quality care affordably.
Simple Home Prevention and Daily Care
Our dental services focus is always on preventing dental disease rather than treating it later. Children’s dentistry is centred around empowering both children and parents with the knowledge to maintain good oral hygiene at home. Brushing twice a day for two minutes helps remove dental plaque that causes tooth decay and gum inflammation (gingivitis). A balanced diet is equally important — avoiding sugary or sticky snacks and reducing snacking frequency helps lower the risk of decay. Parents can also support their children by checking their teeth and gums regularly to spot any early changes.​
Child Check-Ups and Hygienist Visits
A Child New Patient Examination includes a full assessment by Matthew, our experienced dentist and practice owner. This involves an intra-oral skin check, an evaluation of your child’s teeth and gums, and any necessary x-rays* to support accurate diagnosis.
A basic orthodontic assessment and dietary discussion are also included to promote good long-term oral health. In addition, our hygienist visits aren’t just for adults — children benefit greatly from professional cleaning to remove plaque and calculus that can cause decay and gum disease.
Regular hygienist visits help prevent gingivitis, maintain fresh breath, and support healthy gum development. Our hygienists also provide diet advice, oral hygiene instruction, and a gentle scale and polish.
*Excludes radiographs for which a referral is required. If your child isn’t registered with us, they can still see our hygienist directly without a dentist appointment. However, we recommend regular check-ups with our dentist too, as screening for decay, gum issues, and tooth development plays an important role in keeping your child’s mouth healthy.
Preventive Dental Treatments and Fillings
Preventive care is the foundation of strong, healthy teeth. We offer fluoride applications and fissure sealants to protect children’s teeth from decay. Fissure sealants, thin, tooth-coloured coatings, are applied to the biting surfaces of molar teeth, which are most vulnerable to decay within the first two years after eruption.
The sealant hardens under a bright light, forming a smooth barrier that prevents food and bacteria from lodging in deep grooves. While our focus is always on prevention, if a cavity does occur, we provide gentle, high-quality white fillings to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Every treatment is carried out with care and reassurance, ensuring your child feels comfortable and confident throughout their visit.
I cannot thank Matthew and his amazing team more for the last 2 years. My braces journey (18 months with fixed braces top and bottom) is officially complete! It's been an emotional one! I had not visited a dentist since childhood. I was petrified in all honesty. I couldn't even wait in a waiting room with my children for their check ups. After reading a review of this practice I decided if they could do it I would also give it a go! I was desperate to have a shiny new smile for my 40th birthday!!
My wish has finally come true!! 2 years ago I started my journey at this amazing practice. It took everything I had to even pick the phone up to find the information but when I did I didn't regret a thing!
Vanessa, Jo and the reception team are amazing! They have listened to my constant questions throughout my treatment (via phone and a lot of emails!!). They have all supported me through the treatment I needed before my braces were fitted. I have never felt more welcomed or at ease at any dental practice.
I have had a lot of treatment of my teeth and even though I was anxious I had literally nothing to worry about. Every appointment I had was supported by Matthew and his amazing team. They definitely got used to my ways and I learnt many techniques to relax throughout the appointments and felt at ease from the start.
It's been a long but supported journey and I could not be happier with the results! I love my new smile and I got it just after my 40th birthday which was the icing on the cake!!
If I can go through this journey anyone can! Do not hesitate if you've never visited a dentist before or you're anxious about it, there is nothing to worry about!
You're in great hands! Matthew is the best and his team are amazing! I'm going to miss my appointments every 8 weeks. They became part of my life. End of a chapter. I really cannot wait to enjoy my new smile and I can definitely encourage anyone debating it to just do it!!
