Thorpe Dental Group for Children
Here at Woodthorpe, we provide a unique, child focused environment that is fun, gentle, and sensitive to the special needs of children and adolescents. Our aim is to create a non-judgemental, holistic, and patient focused environment to prevent, diagnose and treat dental disease; whilst fostering a supportive approach with our patients and their parents to establish a tailored oral hygiene routine that can be practised at home.
All children and young people are welcome at Woodthorpe. It is hoped that we can instil a positive attitude towards the dentist that can be carried through to adulthood.
