Children’s Dentist in Prestwich
At Oakley Dental, we believe that good oral health starts early. That’s why we recommend that children begin regular dental visits from the age of three. These early check-ups help to build familiarity and trust, and create a solid foundation for lifelong oral health.
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for young children, which is why we focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment. In fact, many of our youngest patients enjoy their visits — often more than the grown-ups!
Regular children’s dental appointments are essential for monitoring tooth development, spotting potential issues early, and offering tailored advice to parents on oral hygiene techniques, diet, and fluoride use. Our team takes a gentle, preventative approach and uses child-friendly language to explain treatments and make visits as fun and educational as possible.
As a parent, one of the most important things you can do is establish good dental care habits early on. Children who learn to care for their teeth from a young age are far more likely to maintain strong oral hygiene habits into adulthood.
We proudly welcome young patients from across Bury, Whitefield, Prestwich, and throughout Greater Manchester. Whether it’s their first appointment or a routine check-up, our team is here to ensure your child receives the best possible dental care in a safe and supportive environment.

At what age should I book my child’s first dental visit?
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental check-up at around three years old, or sooner if you notice any issues.
How often should children visit the dentist?
Children should attend dental appointments every six months, just like adults. This allows us to monitor development and provide preventative care.
What happens during a child’s dental appointment?
We check the health and development of their teeth and gums, offer brushing advice, and ensure your child feels comfortable and confident at the dentist.
What if my child is nervous about visiting the dentist?
Our team is experienced in helping anxious children feel at ease. We take time to build trust and explain everything in a reassuring way.
Help your child develop a lifetime of healthy smiles.
