At Twickel Dental in Much Wenlock, we are pleased to welcome kids of all ages. From toddlers to teenagers, we provide children dental examinations, oral hygiene, treatments (as required) and fun education to help your children develop a great habit from a young age!

As Dr Roxana knows well, kids will be kids. They will eat and drink sugary foods, sweets and fizzy drinks. All of these things, unfortunately aid & speed up tooth decay.

As a parent, you will have the tough job of balancing out a healthy diet for your child, as well as letting them enjoy a sugary food or beverage as a treat.

As a dental clinic, part of our job is to educate our patients (children/teenagers/adults) on good oral dental hygiene and how to maintain a healthy mouth, teeth and gums.

Going to the dentist can be scary, especially for a young child, and even adults! Our friendly team work hard to ensure that each child is comfortable & find each visit enjoyable. This helps set them up for a lifetime of good habits when it comes to their teeth. Quite often we have seen adult patients who are extremely nervous as a result of a bad childhood experience (or their parent has passed on their fears to them). This can have quite drastic results in the longterm for their oral health, and in the most severe cases, has lead to multiple tooth loss and regular dental pain.

We are a family orientated dental practice in Much Wenlock, that is run by husband & wife team, Dr Mihail & Dr Roxana Ionescu. We treat patients as if they were a member of the family. We offer full service dental care for children, which includes:

It is recommended that your child should visit a dentist by age 1 or within 6 months after their first tooth appears (which is usually around 6 months old). Even though baby teeth will be eventually replaced with the permanent adult teeth, it is very important to keep an eye on their development, as healthy baby teeth are fundamental to a Childs overall health & development.

As part of our oral health education, we can show you how to care for your young children's teeth as they come in, and also help with advice on teething & thumb sucking.

Brushing (twice a day) & flossing (once a day) will always be the best way in preventative care, to reduce tooth decay and cavities. We recommend dental sealants for children when their first molars come in (which is usually around the age of 6) and again when the second set come in (usually around the age of 12). Molars are our back teeth that are used to chew & crush food. They have uneven, deep grooves which can make it hard to clean, especially for children.

Sealants are a thin protective coating that can be applied over the chewing surface of molars. They will help keep food out of the grooves and help decrease the risk of tooth decay. It only takes minutes to apply the sealants and is a completely painless procedure.

Fluoride plays an important role in helping to prevent tooth decay in children, as it helps make your children teeth more resistant to acid and corrosion. As part of your children's regular cleaning, we will use concentrated fluoride to help strengthen & protect their teeth.

With tooth decay, it can be sometimes hard to spot with just a visual exam, especially if it occurs between teeth. Taking periodic x-rays of your children's teeth will help us to detect problems such as tooth decay and cavities (in the early stages), as well as help us to monitor the development of permanent teeth & wisdom teeth.
