Children’s Dentistry

Childhood has been identified as the most important period in anyone’s ‘dental life’. From building good dental habits and our overall wellbeing to how we feel about visiting the dentist, our childhood dental experiences are impactful.

We have found that even when children have been to the dentist before, they often do not know what to expect when they come to see us.

That is why it is our aim to ensure that every child has a healthy and beautiful smile and is treated in a caring, gentle environment where a visit to the dentist is something to look forward to. We firmly believe that this approach prepares the child to enter adulthood with a positive attitude towards dental health.

Read the 10 things you should know about children’s dental health.

Appointment with Maisie today was excellent.  She handled some unexpected findings very well, offering cogent and salient advice.  Analgesia was brilliant, and the work done very efficiently.  Good job.

Recently had my first hygienist appointment with Claire. Made to feel comfortable throughout the treatment by both Claire & her assistant. Claire was very helpful explaining & suggesting what I could to do at home. All the staff are excellent very helpful and cheerful.

I went to the invisalign open day and the service was wonderful and it's such a beautiful place. All the staff were lovely and really helpful. Unfortunately due to personal matters, I was unable to commit to going ahead with the invisalign treatment on the day however I will be going ahead with this treatment once I am able to. I didnt realise that once you attend one open day, you are unable to attend another, which is unfortunate as the offers on the open day are incredible, If I had known, I wouldnt have booked onto this open day however, I wanted to find out more information and thought this would be a good opportunity to do so and this was how it was advertised to me. The owner was great and did offer to extend the offer available on the day for a fixed period, but due to personal circumstances, again, I didn't feel it was sensible to commit. I did find out more about what the treatment would look like for me, which is what I wanted and I'll be back as soon as I can to go ahead with treatment and hopefully be able to benefit from the offers available today. If I wasnt having issues with our new build home, absolutely would have gone ahead! I am sure everyone who went ahead with their invisalign journey today will have a wonderful experience and thank you to the staff for a wonderful morning and being so helpful. See you all soon!

As someone who has always been terrified of the dentist, Black Swan Dental Spa in Crewkerne has completely changed my experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere—it immediately puts you at ease. The elegant, spa-like surroundings make it feel nothing like a typical dental visit! The surgery rooms are calming and relaxing, and the dentists are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely have your best interests at heart. They take the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend Black Swan Dental Spa over any other dentist I’ve been to—it honestly doesn’t feel like you’re at the dentist at all! If you’re nervous about dental visits, this is the place to go. Absolutely outstanding service! 🦷✨ #LocalGuide #BlackSwanDentalSpa #FearFreeDentistry #5StarService #HighlyRecommended

Dental Decay in Children

Children are highly susceptible to dental decay and this susceptibility can even continue well into the third decade of life. As such, dietary sugars and natural juices must be not only kept low in quantity but also in frequency from the youngest age. Babies and children should also be actively encouraged to drink and enjoy water, rather than relying on sugary drinks for hydration.

This can be difficult and it’s also important to note that children need a balanced diet, including sugars, for healthy growth. We can guide you to manage their diet in a way that is compatible with dental health.

Regular visits to the dentist are essential for the identification and treatment of any problems at an early stage. We recommend that all children from the appearance of their first tooth should have a check-up every 6 months to ensure that everything is progressing well.

For children of 6 years and over, a dental hygienist appointment can be arranged if advised by the dentist. Dental examinations for under 6’s are free of charge, if the parents are patients at the practice, and young children are given motivational stickers, appropriate advice and a clean teeth certificate at Black Swan Dental Spa.

We also have our Children’s Care Plan available for your complete peace of mind and coverage.
