It is really important for children to visit the dentist regularly to establish a good oral health routine from an early age. Regular dental checkups will ensure proper oral development, detect cavities early, and establish lifelong healthy habits.
We welcome children to Dentistry on the Grove and aim to foster a fear-free, relaxed environment where children view taking care of their teeth as a positive lifelong habit.
At Dentistry on the Grove, we treat children across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the surrounding areas.

Usually around the age of six, but it can be as early as four and as late as seven or eight. Everyone is different. The baby or milk teeth are replaced by the adult teeth coming through.
While we treat children’s general dental needs at our practice, we do not straighten children’s teeth. We provide Invisalign clear aligner straightening for patients age 18 and above.
Due to overcrowding, an orthodontist may recommend the removal of one or more teeth before the commencement of straightening with braces.
