Children’s Dentistry

OUR NHS CHILDRENS BOOKS ARE CURRENTLY FULL. PLEASE CHECK BACK AGAIN IN SUMMER 2025

Did you know that over 30,000 children in the UK are admitted to hospitals each year due to dental decay?

At Dartmoor Dental, we're on a mission to keep kids healthy and out of Derriford. We already care for 3,000 wonderful children and we always announce on our website, socials when we are able to accept more new patients aged 0-18 years who live locally to Tavistock. We believe that visiting the dentist should be a fun and stress-free experience so even run dedicated children only days in the school holidays.

Our free NHS children’s dental service provides a warm and inviting atmosphere that helps children relax & see the dentist as a positive experience.

We believe in setting the stage for a lifetime of great oral health right from the start, and are here to help with preventative care for the infants, children & adolescents within our local Tavistock community.

  • Preventative Care

    We aim to instil preventive measures like regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect & prevent children's teeth from decay and cavities.

  • Education

    We help both children and parents learn about proper oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and a healthy diet, to build good dental habits from an early age.

  • Nervous Patients

    Visiting the dentist at a young age can be daunting, so we work hard to make it a positive comfortable experience. We aim to remove any anxiety & help encourage regular check-ups, so children grow up with dental hygiene being a healthy stress-free part of their lives.

  • Monitoring Development

    We will keep track of the growth and development of a child's teeth and jaws to ensure we can intervene if necessary to give the child proper alignment and oral health in the future.
