At Kempston Dental Practice, we are proud to offer NHS and Private care to all children under the age of 18.
 Our experienced dentists love children and are great with anxious children.Â
We take pride in providing high quality paediatric dentistry and modern treatments in a child-friendly, playful, and relaxed atmosphere. This is why we see up to 4 generations of the same family and we would like to believe that they wouldn’t want to go anywhere else
At Kempston Dental Practice we believe that every visit to the dentist should be fun and rewarding for the whole family. These positive experiences we believe will promote and reinforce optimal and long-term oral health.
At the check ups depending on the age and cooperation we will endeavour to look at
You can choose if your child is seen under the NHS or on a private basis. Under the NHS you will have extra forms to fill in so please arrive 15 minutes early.
We prioritise making parents, legal guardians, and children feel welcome and at ease during their visits. Our goal is to create an enjoyable environment where kids can learn about the importance of dental health as they grow. Accompanying your child to their appointments can provide comfort, especially if they’re anxious. A positive and supportive approach from parents can help children associate dental visits with a positive experience.
Consent is super important when visiting the dentist. This ensures that the information given to you was explained clearly, where you understand the benefits of the dental treatment offered as well as any potential side effects.
The majority of consent obtained is from the legal parent and/or guardian rather than the child who would be the patient. When a child is under a certain age, consent must be obtained as such. If the child is above a certain age then they can consent to their own treatment.Â
We maintain a strict policy on missed appointments. To ensure a positive working relationship, all new patients must agree to this policy upon joining our practice. While we understand that appointments can occasionally be forgotten, we generally allow one missed or late-cancelled appointment within a specific time frame. Missed appointments not only impact our ability to care for other children in need but also place a significant strain on NHS resources. Although each case is considered individually, repeated missed appointments may result in the need to find another dentist for your child’s care.
