Little Molar · dentistry for children only
The first visit is a visit. Nothing else happens.
Little Molar is a dental practice only for children. The first appointment involves sitting in the chair, counting teeth, choosing a sticker, and going home. No drill, no needle, no surprises, ever.
Or call us — we will talk it through first.
What we promise before you ever walk in
Three rules we do not bend, because a frightened child remembers the first appointment for the next twenty years.
01
No treatment on the first visit
No treatment on the first visit, even if we spot something. We book that separately, so your child never learns that coming here means something scary happens.
02
Your child picks the room
Three treatment rooms with different themes and your child picks. It sounds small. It is the difference between a child who walks in and one who is carried in.
03
Tell, show, do
Tell, show, do. Every instrument is explained, then demonstrated on a finger or a toy, then used. Nothing touches a child that they have not already met.
If your child says no
If your child says no, we stop.
We might get three teeth counted the first time and all twenty the third time, and that is a completely normal and successful course of treatment.
Nobody is held down. Nobody is talked over. Coming back a second time is progress, not a failed appointment.
Trained for children, not adapted to them
Two dentists with pediatric postgraduate qualifications, two therapists, and a nurse who has been calming small children here since 2009.

My son screamed in the car park at our old dentist. At Little Molar he asked whether he could come back next week. I nearly cried in reception.
