Caring for Children's Teeth in Guildford
At Levitas Dental Guildford, our children's dentistry covers every stage from infancy to the teenage years, focusing on oral health, development and hygiene. Early and regular check-ups let us track how your child's teeth are coming through, notice potential problems in good time and offer diet and hygiene advice suited to them. We recommend a first dental visit by the time your child turns one, giving them a gentle introduction to the dentist and a head start on healthy habits.
Throughout childhood, we continue to check the alignment of the teeth and jaws and talk to you about whether any orthodontic or preventive treatment might be helpful. Our care is centred on prevention and education, and on helping your child build a positive relationship with the dentist.
What Happens at a Children's Check-up
The First Appointment: We suggest the first check-up takes place before your child's first birthday. It gives our team a chance to check early tooth development and helps your child become familiar with the clinic.
Continuing Care: As your child grows, we monitor their teeth and jaws, looking for any signs of decay, misalignment or developmental issues.
Tailored Guidance: You will receive advice on diet, brushing and oral hygiene that reflects your child's age and everyday habits.
Help for Nervous Children: For children who feel anxious, we can offer a range of sedation options to help make the visit calm and comfortable.
Weekend Appointments: Our Guildford clinic is open seven days a week, 8.00 am to 6.00 pm, so you can book around school and family commitments, including at weekends.

Children's Dentist in Guildford FAQs
How often should my child go to the dentist?
From their first birthday onwards, children should have a dental check-up every 6 months. Your dentist will let you know if they would like to see your child more regularly.
My child is nervous about the dentist. What can I do to prepare them?
Many children feel anxious about dental visits, so we encourage parents to bring children to us from a young age and then every 6 months, turning check-ups into a familiar routine. Staying positive yourself really helps, because children tend to sense how their parents are feeling. You could bring books, games or toys to keep them busy in the waiting area, or watch videos about visiting the dentist together before the appointment.
My child's adult teeth are coming through crooked. Will they need braces?
Teeth that come through at an angle do not always need braces. While your child's jaw is still growing, it is hard to say whether the teeth will straighten out as more room develops or stay crooked. Your dentist will usually refer to an orthodontist once all the adult teeth are through, which tends to be between 12 and 16 years of age.
