The Manor Road North practice approaches children’s dentistry by first establishing what matters clinically and personally to you. Recommendations are made only after the relevant checks have been completed.

Only after assessment will the Hinchley Wood team set out the suitable route, expected stages and continuing care.
TREATMENT PLANNING
Planning your care at Hinchley Wood.
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.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your journey, clearly explained.
01
Prepare For The Visit
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.
02
Examine And Explain
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.
03
Prevent And Review
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.
