Children
NHS or Private Treatment for Children?
Due to Government reforms in NHS Dentistry, the provision of Orthodontic Treatment for children has been limited to those who have particularly crooked teeth. Therefore some children will not be eligible for NHS treatment. With waiting lists increasing and inadequate funding of NHS treatment, you could consider a private option for your child.
There are many advantages to having private treatment.
- No waiting lists
- Convenient appointments: after school, evenings and Saturdays
- Transparent & Tooth coloured braces which are less visible
- Superior braces which move teeth quicker & reduce treatment time. Payment options can make treatment very affordable for many.
- Most treatments can be paid for in instalments at the rate of £100.00 per month over 18 months or so. Please call us to discuss these options.
Sadly these cutbacks in NHS funding for dental treatment will affect more children in the future and private treatment will become a necessary option for those wanting to have the best care for their childrens’ teeth. Where possible I am happy to accept children on the NHS.
