Our Special Kids’ Service at Shipston Dental Practice
Children’s Dentistry for a Bright Future
At Shipston Dental Practice, we understand that children need a special approach to dental care. We’re committed to providing high-quality, professional dental services tailored to meet the needs of your younger family members. We believe that fostering a positive attitude towards oral health in childhood sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Tooth decay can begin as soon as a child’s first teeth appear, but the good news is that it’s preventable. Our dedicated team works to ensure that your child’s dental health is nurtured from an early age, helping them grow into adults who care about their teeth.
Why Choose Us for Your Child’s Dental Care?
We go beyond just cleaning teeth. At Shipston Dental Practice, we are passionate about offering exceptional care for your children, ensuring they feel comfortable, supported, and informed every step of the way.
Children’s Dentist: Dr. Carrie Preston
One of our dentists, Dr. Carrie Preston, has extensive experience in children's dentistry. She has worked as a clinical assistant with orthodontic consultants at Cheltenham General Hospital and completed the UCL Certificate in Paediatric Dentistry at the renowned Eastman Dental Institute. Additionally, Dr. Preston has worked with paediatric specialists at Birmingham Dental Hospital, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to your child’s dental care.
Thorough, Preventative Care
At every visit, we ensure a complete examination of your child’s teeth, gums, and soft tissues for signs of dental disease and proper development. We also perform:
- Full orthodontic screenings
- X-rays (when necessary)
- Dental health assessments
- Personalised preventative care plans
We provide you with a detailed examination report, along with advice and guidance on maintaining your child's oral health.
First Visit – A Positive Start
On your child’s first visit, they will receive our Dental Health Folder, which includes personalised oral health advice and a written report. We request that a parent or guardian attend the appointment and complete a Medical History form for children under 16. We believe in clear communication, so we will discuss treatment costs and options upfront, ensuring there are no surprises. We also offer family discounts for multiple children attending at the same time.
Denplan for Children – Affordable, Routine Care
To make dental care affordable and accessible, we offer Denplan’s inclusive plans for children, managed by Dr. Carrie Preston. This plan allows you to budget monthly for your child’s routine dental check-ups, ensuring they receive consistent care without unexpected costs.
Child-Focused Appointments and Care
We understand that children need time, attention, and a calm environment. That's why we:
- Tailor appointment lengths to give your child the time they need
- Offer 6-monthly check-ups for regular monitoring
- Provide before-school, after-school, lunchtime, & holiday appointments to fit your busy schedule
- Offer more frequent care for children who need it, based on their development
Prevention and Education
Our team of hygienists not only help treat gum disease in adults, but they also work with our younger patients to prevent it from an early age. Services include:
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
- Teaching your child the correct tooth-brushing technique
Calm, Relaxing Dental Treatment for Kids
If your child needs further treatment, we provide it in a calm, friendly, and welcoming environment. We take time to explain each step of the process to both you and your child, ensuring that every visit is as stress-free as possible.
We pride ourselves on making dental visits an enjoyable experience for children, so they’ll feel comfortable and confident returning again and again.
