Children's Dentistry with Levitas Dental Clinic
Children’s dentistry focuses on the oral health, development, and hygiene of infants, children, and teenagers. Regular check-ups from an early age help monitor tooth development, spot potential issues early, and provide tailored advice on diet and hygiene. At Levitas, we recommend a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, allowing us to gently introduce them to the dental environment and begin building healthy habits from the start.
As your child grows, we continue to assess the alignment of their teeth and jaws, advising you on whether any orthodontic or preventative treatment may be beneficial. Our approach is centred around prevention, education, and creating a positive relationship with dental care.
What to Expect
First Visit: We recommend the first check-up before the age of one. This allows our team to assess early tooth development and help your child become familiar with the dental setting.
Ongoing Check-ups: We monitor the growth of your child’s teeth and jaws, checking for signs of decay, misalignment, or other developmental issues.
Personalised Advice: We provide guidance on diet, brushing techniques, and oral hygiene, tailored to your child’s age and habits.
Supportive Environment: For children with dental anxiety, we offer a range of sedation options to ensure a calm and comfortable experience.
Flexible Appointments: Evening and weekend slots are available to fit around school and family schedules.

Children’s Dentist in Guildford – Gentle Dental Care for Kids FAQ
How often should my child visit the dentist?
After their first birthday, your child should be visiting the dentist every 6 months. If your dentist is concerned, they will let you know if they would like to see your child more frequently.
My child is anxious about visiting the dentist, how can I help them prepare?
We understand that children will get anxious about visiting the dentist and that is why we encourage you to bring your child to see us at a young age and then every 6 months so that it becomes a routine for them. We would advise that you remain as positive as you can as children will pick up on how parents are feeling. Bring along books, games and toys to distract them whilst they wait. You can also watch videos about going to visit the dentist online to help prepare them before your appointment.
My child’s adult teeth are all coming through crooked. Will they need braces?
Children’s adult teeth may come through at different angles, but this does not always mean they need braces. Whilst their jawbone is still growing, it is hard to determine whether teeth will straighten out once they have more space or whether they remain crooked. Your dentist will refer children to an orthodontist once the adult teeth have all come through and this is generally between the ages of 12 and 16.
