Children visiting Kingsmeadows Dental Practice
Here at Kingsmeadows Dental Practice we take children's dentistry very seriously. We encourage children to come along to the practice from as young an age as possible, this gets them accustomed to having their teeth (gums) examined and used to the different smells and sights of a surgery. All children are seen under the NHS Scotland.
To make the experience more exciting for our little patients we have toys and books to distract them while in the waiting room and a television on the ceiling above the dental chair so they can watch CBeebies shows while having their teeth examined. Plus it wouldn't be a trip to the dentist if they never received a sticker for being good!
Due to Kingsmeadows Dental Practice's dedication to the care of children's teeth we were chosen by Dundee University to take part in the Fiction Trial.
This trial was run by both Dundee and Newcastle universities to "provide evidence for the most clinically-effective and cost-effective approach to managing caries in children’s primary teeth in Primary Care. This will support general dental practitioners in treatment decision making for child patients to minimize pain and infection in primary teeth."
We randomly chose children registered with the practice to take part, they all thoroughly enjoyed being part of something making a difference to dentistry for future children!
