Paedodontics
A dentist who specialises in treating children and young people is known as a paediatric dentist or paedodontist.

Our specialist Joanna Johnson believes that early dental experiences will determine a child's outlook on dentistry for life. Her treatment goes far beyond just diagnosing a problem and treating a tooth: the child's age, personality and attitude all influence the way she approaches treatment.

A first visit to see Joanna will involve interactive communication as well as a careful and gentle assessment of treatment needs. Enough time is always allowed for a relaxed and happy visit.

Low dose digital x-rays will be taken as needed - these can be seen instantly on screen.

Preventive help and advice is part of her treatment plan for everyone. By encouraging young people to take good care of their teeth she helps them to establish a positive attitude and so reduce dental treatment in the years to come to a minimum.
