Our Upminster dental practice offers a full range of children’s dental services under one roof, supported by state-of-the-art facilities and a highly qualified team dedicated to providing high-quality care for every child.
Children’s dentistry is about more than treating teeth - it’s about laying the foundations for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
From those first milk teeth, early dental visits help children feel comfortable in a welcoming environment, learn effective brushing techniques, and understand how to care for their teeth.
By visiting regularly, your child will grow up with a trusted “dental home” - a familiar place where friendly faces make each appointment calm, reassuring and positive.
We recommend booking your child’s first dental appointment as soon as their first tooth appears - usually around six months of age.
This early introduction allows our experienced dentists and hygienists to monitor development, teach good brushing habits, and offer tailored dietary advice for healthy teeth.
Regular check-ups from an early age help ensure your child’s dental health is properly maintained and any concerns are caught early.
Feeling nervous about the dentist is completely normal - especially for little ones.
Our gentle children’s dentists take time to explain every step, answer questions and create a calm, friendly atmosphere that puts children and parents at ease.
We might let them explore the dental chair, count their teeth together, or celebrate their bravery with a sticker and a smile.

At Church View Dental, we want every family to feel supported, reassured and confident that their child’s dental care is in safe, caring hands.
Healthy milk teeth help children chew, speak and smile with confidence - and they guide adult teeth into the right position as they grow. That’s why early NHS dentistry and regular check-ups are so important: they protect those first teeth and prevent problems before they start.
As part of our comprehensive approach, we offer general dental care for children, ensuring routine check-ups and preventive treatments are available to support lifelong oral health.
