We love seeing children at Castle Street. Early, positive visits help children feel relaxed about the dentist for life, so we make every appointment calm, friendly and even a little bit fun.
NHS dental care is free for children under 18 and for young people under 19 in full-time education. We also offer private children’s appointments for families who prefer more flexibility.
We chat first, then gently check teeth, gums and jaw development, explaining each step in simple words. Every child leaves with praise and tips for home.
NHS dental care is free for under 18s. Private children’s appointments are also available, and our team will happily explain the options.

Let us know when you book, and we will allow extra time. Keep conversations about the dentist positive at home, and consider bringing your child along to one of your own checkups first so they can see what happens.
Yes, where possible, we are happy to arrange family appointments back-to-back to save you time. Just ask our reception team when you book.

My Invisalign results exceeded my expectations. The process was explained clearly at every step, and the results are amazing.
All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter had composite bonding on her front tooth, and it is excellent! Dr Khalid was amazing, thank you.
Hygienist Barbara and Nurse Anna were wonderful today. Thoroughly put me at ease and made my session pain-free and even enjoyable! Also, Barbara was very informative about electric toothbrushes and picks. Thank you!
