A healthy smile starts early
Regular dental visits are important for a child’s overall health. Early dental examinations help identify potential problems early and allow children to become comfortable with visiting the dentist.
Through the Westminster Family Hub programme, children aged 0–16 may be able to access NHS dental examinations at EGO Dental Clinic in Westminster.
If your child has never seen a dentist or has not had a dental check-up in the last 12 months, parents and guardians are welcome to register their interest.
Why children should see a dentist
Dental problems often begin without pain. Regular dental examinations help dentists detect issues early and support healthy development.
Routine visits help to:
• check the health of teeth and gums
• monitor how teeth and jaws are developing
• provide advice on brushing and diet
• support healthy oral hygiene habits
• help children feel confident about visiting the dentist
Early dental care helps children develop lifelong healthy habits.
What happens during a child’s dental examination
A child’s dental appointment is usually quick and gentle. The dentist will assess the child’s oral health and provide guidance for parents.
The visit may include:
• examination of teeth and gums
• advice on toothbrushing and oral hygiene
• guidance on diet and sugar intake
• monitoring of tooth development
The main focus is prevention and education.

This programme is designed for children who:
• are aged 0–16
