Family Dental Health​

We offer free NHS dentistry to children aged under 18 and can also offer private care if requested.

At The Dental Co. we pride ourselves on being a Family Friendly Dental Practice. We offer FREE NHS Dental Care for all patients under 18 years of age. However private options are also available on request. 

We offer a range of teeth straightening options, should your child require them. This can be available under the NHS however an Orthodontic Assessment will be required to determine patient’s eligibility. In this case we will refer to a NHS Orthodontist for a full assessment and treatment plan.

If your child is not eligible for NHS orthodontic treatment, we have a range of orthodontic treatments that are available on a private basis.
