Is your child teething?
We understand that it can be quite difficult for parents to see their children in pain, especially when they're so young. Teething is a natural process that typically begins around 6 months of age.
The common signs of teething include:
- Drooling
- An urge to put all objects in their mouth
- Disturbed sleep
- Flushed cheeks
- Swollen gums
What can you do to help them?
- Teething rings are a safe object for your baby to chew on. Some rings can be cooled in the fridge beforehand to help soothe their gums.
- Teething gels (for babies over 4 months old) often contain a mild local anaesthetic to numb pain and antiseptic ingredients to prevent infection.
- Offer healthy foods to chew on – fruit and vegetables are ideal because they are soft and gentle on the gums.
- Cool, sugar-free drinks can help soothe the gums and reduce excessive drooling.
- Gently rubbing the gums with a clean finger or a wet gauze pad can ease pain and lessen soreness.

I came to this dentist on the recommendation of a work colleague and some extra research.
I'm a really anxious person who is also neurodiverse, and after 10 years of not seeing a dentist, I had severe buildup on my teeth, inflamed, red gums and cavities. I was embarrassed to smile. I was embarrassed to have conversations with other people because I didn't want them to notice my teeth.
The whole team have been nothing but kind, welcoming, and understanding. They all really, really listened to me and my experience. They explained each step that needed to be taken, in detail, answered all of my questions really well, and ensured I wasn't in pain or anxious.
I was also able to use my own coping mechanisms (fidget rings, worry stones, hand fidgeting), and I wasn't judged. That's how it should be, and thank you for setting an example.
It's quiet and genuinely a really nice, calm atmosphere. And because it's a calm, quiet practice, it doesn't feel like you're on a timer.I didn't feel pressured by anyone for anything regarding treatment, and have been kindly but firmly re-educated on important aspects or oral health.
They will also send you plenty of reminders and confirmations, which has been super helpful for me to manage my time and prioritise myself and my teeth.
A huge thank you to Dr. Rikki, Dr. Anna, and the rest of the team who made me feel like it was possible to get my smile back. My confidence has increased tenfold, and I would do it all again (but hopefully not).

I needed my lower wisdom tooth out and had to wait 12 months on the NHS. It kept getting infected so I sought private treatment. I was nervous about coming as the prices seemed cheaper than other places I had looked. It was a really positive experience. I was asked if I had any questions and told about pricing. The dentist even took my tooth out the same day which was so convenient as I have limited childcare. The dentist was kind and efficient and I was emailed detailed aftercare instructions. Would highly recommend!
