Spring Term Parent Evening Appointment Requests
Dentists
It is upsetting that, in the UK, the most common reason children have to undergo General Anaesthetic in hospital is for dental extractions.
Naidu & Naidu have decided to open their patient list to children under the age of 18 to help improve access to NHS services and help support your little (or big) ones with maintaining excellent dental health. Their ethos is that from brushing milk teeth to first trips to the dentist should be positive and enjoyable experiences, and we should all be aiming to reduce the need for hospital procedures. They are situated on Gubbins Lane.
If you or any friends or family would like to take this fantastic opportunity, please call our team on 01708346540 or email info@naidudentalcare.co.uk and we would be happy to help.
