S3 Dental Eltham provides children’s dentistry from its established Well Hall Road practice in SE9. The team serves Eltham, Mottingham, Kidbrooke, Blackheath and nearby South East London areas.
CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY · ELTHAM
At Eltham, the starting point for children’s dentistry is a careful conversation and the examination or assessment relevant to that service. You will be told what is suitable, what alternatives exist and what each stage involves.
The practice combines neighbourhood dental care with access to clinicians whose interests cover routine and more advanced treatment: children's appointments are planned around age, development, symptoms and confidence, with prevention and appropriate referral considered. Your Eltham plan will record the appropriate option, likely sequence and maintenance once the relevant checks are complete.
TREATMENT PLANNING
This is ongoing preventive care, not a single treatment with a fixed lifespan. Teeth and risk factors change as children grow. Help with twice-daily brushing using age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste, and encourage spitting rather than rinsing afterwards. Keep sugary foods and drinks to mealtimes where possible. Sealants and fillings need checking over time. Ask for advice specific to your child's age rather than relying on adult products or routines.
Eligible NHS dental care has no patient charge for children under 18, and for those under 19 in qualifying full-time education. This exemption does not guarantee an appointment or cover private care. Ask reception to confirm capacity and the booking route. A separate private children's fee is not published in our current guide; obtain the exact price before booking. Alternatives to a proposed procedure depend on the tooth and diagnosis, and can include prevention, monitoring, restoration or referral.
YOUR OPTIONS AT S3 DENTAL ELTHAM
All treatment is subject to clinical assessment and individual suitability.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Tell reception the child's age, symptoms and any medical, communication or sensory needs. Explain the appointment simply and positively without promising that nothing will happen. Bring relevant medication information and let us know about previous difficult experiences so the team can plan appropriately.
The dentist works at a pace appropriate to the child and explains what they are checking. Assessment includes the teeth, gums and development; X-rays are used only when clinically justified. Parents receive clear findings and an opportunity to discuss worries about brushing, eating or pain.
The plan may include brushing support, dietary changes, fluoride varnish or fissure sealants where indicated. If treatment is needed, the dentist explains the options and how cooperation will be supported. The next review interval depends on risk; complex needs may require an appropriate referral.
YOUR LOCAL CLINICIANS
For an initial children’s dentistry assessment at Eltham, ask reception about Dr Serene Lam and Dr Maaria Lone. These links describe the local clinicians' backgrounds. Reception will confirm the appropriate assessing dentist; the treating clinician or referral route is agreed after assessment.
LOCAL FEES & PAYMENT OPTIONS
Subject to capacity and eligibility. A private children's fee is not published; reception must confirm it before booking. Private care is not covered by the NHS exemption.
Eltham will give you the treatment fee before you proceed and can explain payment choices if further private care is recommended.
