Frequently asked questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
As early as possible — ideally as soon as their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. Early visits help them feel comfortable in the chair.
Is NHS dental care free for children?
Yes — all NHS dental treatment is free for children in Scotland under the Childsmile programme.
What if my child is nervous?
We take things at their pace, explain everything in child-friendly language and never rush. Most children settle quickly after a visit or two.
