OVERVIEW
Children's dentistry services at Markham Associates
Teeth first begin to appear at around 6 months old – which is the ideal time to introduce your child to our team at Markham Associates Reading. We specialise in children’s dentistry that is friendly, fun and focused on prevention. Our welcoming environment is designed to help your children feel at ease, while our expert team ensures they get the very best dental care from their first visit right through to their teenage years.
We believe that early dental visits create healthy habits for life. That’s why our approach combines education, prevention, and gentle treatment — all tailored to your child’s individual needs. We can help to teach them brushing techniques, how to use different dental tools and diet tips, so that the youngsters are armed with the knowledge to ensure their teeth are kept healthy and cavity free! We can also offer fissure sealants and fluoride varnishes to protect your child’s young teeth against decay as soon as they start to emerge.
