Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of our mouths and usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Not everyone will develop wisdom teeth, but the majority of us do and will likely require them to be removed.

We often receive questions from parents on whether their child should have their wisdom teeth removed before they get braces. The truth is, there’s no hard right or wrong answer to this.

A child’s first visit to the dentist should be a pleasant experience in order to instill a positive association with visiting the dentist and ensure a healthy attitude to dental treatment for years to come.

Teeth whitening treatment is a minimally invasive treatment that can have brilliant results and can really change your smile.

Your concerns about the comfort and safety of your child can make choosing a dentist a difficult choice.
