Fluoride varnish application

NICE guidelines set by the Department of Health show good evidence base for the regular application of 2.26% fluoride varnish onto your child’s teeth up until adulthood. This will help harden the enamel and make it more resitant to decay.

Fissure sealants

Where appropriate, sealants can be placed onto the premolars and molars to reduce the chance of food and plaque trapping in teeth. This lowers the risk of dental caries (decay) in the posterior teeth. Your dentist will advise you on sealants should they be appropriate.

Introducing your child to the dentist

Once you’ve established a good tooth-brushing routine at home, the next step is the first trip to the dentist.

Take your child to the dentist when they’re as young as possible and at least once by the time they’re two. This is so they become familiar with the environment and get to know the dentist. The dentist can help to prevent decay and identify any health problems at an early stage. Just opening up the child’s mouth for the dentist to take a look is useful practice for when they could benefit from future preventive care.

When you visit the dentist, be positive about it and make the trip fun. This will stop your child from worrying about future visits.

Take your child with you when you go for your own dental check-up appointments so they get used to it.

Hints & tips

A regular teeth-cleaning routine is essential for good dental health. Follow these tips and you can help keep your kids’ teeth decay-free:

Start to brush your baby’s gums with a soft toothbrush at bath time, or even let your baby have a go themselves as long as you supervise them. This establishes brushing their teeth as part of the washing routine.
Start brushing your baby’s teeth with fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first milk tooth breaks through (usually at around six months, but it can be earlier or later). It’s important to use a fluoride paste as this helps prevent and control tooth decay.
Children under the age of three can use a smear of family toothpaste containing at least 1,000ppm (parts per million) fluoride. Children between the ages of three and six should use a pea-sized blob of toothpaste containing 1,350-1,500ppm fluoride.
Make sure your child doesn’t eat or lick the toothpaste from the tube.
Brush your child’s teeth for at least two minutes twice a day
Encourage them to spit out excess toothpaste but not to rinse with lots of water.
Supervise tooth brushing until your child is seven or eight years old

Brushing properly

Guide your child’s hand so they can feel the correct movement.
Use a mirror to help your child see exactly where the brush is cleaning their teeth.
Make tooth brushing as fun as possible, using an egg timer for at least two minutes.
Don’t let children run around with a toothbrush in their mouth as they may fall over.

Why patient's love DentalKind

I have only words of praise! I was well received and everyone was very kind to me, I want to thank Dr. Chirag Gohil. I recommend to everyone

Hygienist appointment today. Was a bit nervous because I had a sensitive tooth. Kerry was amazing. Kind and reassuring. No pain or discomfort during or after the treatment. Thank you!

Such warming people

Very happy. Fixed my front Tooth . Amazing Dentist. Thank you All. +++++

I saw Hollie to day for my first hygiene appointment. I simply couldn’t be happier. She was kind , patient and do caring. I’m very nervous, she put me at ease from the very start. Explained everything which helped me massively. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you x

My daughter is very nervous of needles and dentist. She had to have a wisdom tooth removed. She is 21 but I travelled down from the north to be with her. Dr Sergio and his nurse Yasmin were amazing. Literally within 15 minutes all over and done. My daughter didn’t even realise the tooth was removed. Has had no issues since. The care was second to none thank you so much. This positive experience will make it a lot easier for her in future.

Recently registered with DentalKind after becoming unhappy with my previous dentist. Whilst waiting for my initial examination I had an emergency which they were able to sort out on the day. My first appointment was with Dr Sunil, he was very easy to talk to and understanding of the issues I had, he explained everything really well and made sure I fully understood my treatment plan.I've just finished a couple of sessions with Holly the hygienist and whilst I don't relish this kind of thing, it's impossible not to feel completely at ease when you're in the hands of someone who's clearly exceptional at their job. My mouth/teeth have never felt so good and with all of the information and advice she gave me I'm confident that feeling will continue.From the receptionists to the dentists, everything about DentalKind has been first rate. If you're looking for a first dentist or thinking about changing from your current one, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Dr Sunil and his team have been brilliant during my last 2 years of using DentalKind. From the moment you step into the practice, you are welcomed with warm and friendly staff and a lovely clean and modern space. The attention to detail is fantastic.Dr Sunil is a kind, patient and thorough dentist who is always honest too. From my hygiene appointments, regular check ups, Invisalign, composite bonding and whitening treatments, I can't recommend DentalKind highly enough.

A relative has severe dementia and had an accident where her front teeth were broken. The nature of her condition meant that the only way to proceed was by the use of sedation.After I contacted Dentalkind, they responded immediately, with kindness, compassion and efficiency. They arranged for an external sedationist, and scheduled the work with urgency. 2 sessions were needed (and a follow up examination), and at all times I was struck with how kind, patient and devoted to patient care everyone at Dentalkind was. Dr Chirag took charge of the situation and extracted the teeth and arranged for a permanent bridge to be constructed and then fitted it.I could not recommend any dentists higher - they were a life-saver, literally.

Dentalkind have rescued me twice now in a crisis situation. They are always professional.supporrive kind and compassionate. The whole team are simply the best.Sunil you are outstanding. Thank you

I have used Dr Sunil for various treatments including fillings, Invisalign and composite bonding over the past 24 months. I travel 90 minutes each way just to use him (after an initial recommendation) - he is THAT GOOD.He has been absolutely amazing and the results have far surpassed what I ever initially thought possible. He is extremely gentle, thoughtful and caring (as someone who normally dislikes going the dentist, Sunil has completely removed this). He is very transparent and honest, always available to have open discussions and opinions too.I could not recommend this practise anymore, he is the best in the business.

Went for my first appointment today at Dental Kind. From the moment I walked into the reception and were greeted by the friendly reception staff, I knew that I had chosen the right place. The dentist Sunil was amazing, honest, caring, very knowledgeable and realistic with what needed to be done. He made me feel at ease from the start. The dental nurses were also lovely & caring. I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone in need of private dental treatment. Looking forward to getting the rest of my treatment done here. A* from me. Thank you!

Dr Chirag is the best dentist I’ve ever seen. He has amazing attention to detail resulting in a fantastic Invisalign and composite bonding experience. I’ll be moving an hour away soon but there is no doubt that I will still be coming to dentalkind! Megan,Yasmin and the other staff are also always so lovely and welcoming! I’d recommend dentalkind to anyone!

I haven’t been to the Dentist for some years however Kerry the Hygienist and the Assistant were lovely .Kerry has a lovely manner and put Me at ease taking the sting out of My Anxiety .I’m looking forward to finally facing My fears and “look forward “ to taking the next steps to a better smile .Thank You -

I was given the very best of care by excellent and dedicated staff.

I started my Invisalign journey with Chirag around 2 years ago. From the get go, he has understood what I wanted to achieve and whilst at the time it felt that the road ahead was long, in hindsight his attention to detail and patience are the reason for the fantastic results I’ve seen.I had to have a number of fillings at the start of my treatment and must say it’s probably the most relaxed I’ve ever been at the dentist. I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough.

Sunil and his team are absolutely amazing.The surgery is spotless, modern.I went for sedation for my treatment, from initial visit to the sedation appointment the team put me at ease, and communication was spot on.Arrived on the day, Pasq the sedation man was talkative, funny and managed to get my vein first try...no mean feat with my deep veins.No one likes the dentist but I can not recommend Sunil and his team enough.Thank you to all the team @ Dental Kind ❤️

My experience as a patient at Dental Kind.The practice is always impeccably clean, staff are very friendly and helpful.Service is first class and dental procedures are faultless.Highly recommend.

After a very bad experience as a child and many years of not going to a dentist, I eventually ended up at Dentalkind in Billericay, after calling them for an appointment and speaking to the great receptionist I ended up meeting the dentist Dr Chirag Gohil, who took the time to help me over my fears and set my mind at ease, he explained the procedure and exactly how things would go, and as I had to have a general anaesthetic because of my fears of dentists and needles, I had a denture fitting before the procedure and on waking up I was again cared for very well and I had a full set of temporary dentures awaiting me, I had several appointments after the procedure to make sure everything fitted well and after 6 months of healing I then had several appointments to take moulds and then new dentures were made for me these fit very well and are amazing and look great, I would very highly recommend this dentist to everyone especially if you are a nervous patient the whole practice is professional and friendly and really helped me get over my fears and made my experience the best it could possibly be.

I have recently seen Dr Sunil Chudasama for a dental implant. He is an excellent dentist, very personable, kind, gentle and proficient. I have been in the profession myself and worked with lots of Dentists. I would highly recommend.

I received an absolute first class service throughout my visit today.With unbearable tooth ache the past few days and feelings of despair after ringing numerous dentists and even NHS 111 and getting nowhere. Thank heavens I came across Dental Kind on Google who were able to accommodate me as an emergency. What a truly wonderful team of staff here! The receptionist was so lovely and extremely helpful and Dr Chirag was just amazing and did a brilliant job, explaining clearly the X-Ray results and the various options I could choose. I felt embarrassed to admit I’d not been to a dentist for 6 yrs but he was so kind and non judgemental. I opted for extraction and was literally quaking in my boots but - and I am a very nervous patient - I can honestly say after the local anaesthetic was given I didn’t feel any pain at all during the procedure. I just enjoyed watching ‘Countdown’ on the telly right above me, how cool was that!!!Needless to say after receiving such a great service, I’ve now registered here instead of closer to home.Thank you so much to all of you for taking such good care of me. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!Viv Churnside

I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist but Dr Sunil and his amazing team put me at complete ease. Constantly checking that I was okay, not doing anything I wasn’t comfortable with and talking through everything with me. After years of avoiding any dental work, I’ve finally had the treatment I needed, all thanks to the kindness and understanding of the staff. I am so grateful for everything and may even actually look forward to my next dentist appointment! Thank you again 😁

Absolutely impressed by the in-depth insights from the practice manager here, Lisa. Their emphasis on quality, price, and experience for implants resonated with my search criteria. Lisa's extensive industry background and Dr. Sunil's awards and accolades assure a commitment to excellence. Valuable info on top implant brands, the significance of a CBCT scan for precision and an accurate fee, and the 0% interest offer for 12 months made this place stand out. The dedication to providing comprehensive information without pressure speaks volumes about their professionalism. In a world where some practice front desk staff lack basic implant knowledge, this one feels like a secure choice. Highly recommended.

We were lucky enough to secure a last minute hygienist appointment as recommended by a friend. Service was seamless from the first interaction. We will definitely be looking in to proceeding with other treatments here. Thank you!

I cant thank this dental practice enough especially Chirag the staff are fantastic i came in March completely prettified i mean i really bad i hadn’t seen a dentist for about 18 years but i had lost my front teeth and the rest of my teeth were about to fall out. 8 months on and now able to go to the dentist without having someone come with me i have a beautiful set of dentures and friends and family say they haven’t seen me smile so much. I really can’t thank you enough

Chirag as a dentist has been so good for me, he’s been so understanding and has made a fantastic job of everything I’ve had done. Still quite a bit to go but I’m facing that with total confidence now. The receptionists, nurses, hygienists and managers are always a pleasure to see. I literally want to buy them all cake but that would be inappropriate 🤣.

I have had a huge fear of the dentist for the entirety of adulthood and have genuinely never known a practice be so kind, compassionate and informative as this. I was talked through every step of my procedure with the hygienist. Kerry was sweet and took everything at my pace so I wasn’t overwhelmed with a lot of well needed praise and recognition! The admin staff have been so kind and patient with me whilst I cry booking appointments and waiting nervously in the reception area, particularly Megan who was super professional and lovely when I originally sent my enquiry explaining how nervous I was. I have had follow up calls after all my appointments to check how the works have settled and how I am feeling, which I think is a wonderful touch and shows just how attentive they are. And my dentist Chirag has been nothing short of amazing. He is so informative and is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled in his work. I have been for three appointments to have multiple fillings re-done (some of which were quite deep, and tricky after some poor NHS work) But Chirag has taken everything at my own pace, shown me what work is going to take place, and been such a great comfort throughout. He works incredibly hard, and nothing is too much of a problem for him. My mouth has never felt better, and after multiple visits I managed the last one without a single tear! I honestly couldn’t recommend a practice more. Best decision I have made in a long time deciding to finally take the jump and book in with you. Thank you.

I recently had Invisalign and composite bonding with Sunil, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Sunil is an incredibly skilled and experienced dentist, and he made the entire process as easy and stress-free as possible.During my initial consultation, Sunil took the time to understand my goals and expectations. He explained the entire process in detail, and he answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly. I felt completely confident in his care.My Invisalign treatment went smoothly, and I was amazed at how quickly my teeth straightened out. Sunil was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had.Once my Invisalign treatment was complete, Sunil performed the composite bonding, the results are truly amazing! My teeth look perfectly natural and even. I'm so happy with the way my smile looks now.Sunil is not only a skilled dentist, but he's also a very kind and caring person. He made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Sunil to anyone looking for a dental professional.

I have had face treatments with Saj, who is very patient, professional and honest. I look forward to going back.

I woke up with toothache start of the week and by the Saturday I was in bits. Found Dental Kind online and Dr Chirag saw me on the Saturday and extracted the tooth for me and I've been pain-free since. He was very kind snd gentle. Very happy with the professional service! Would highly recommend! I plan to come back for further treatment !

The people in here are so Patient and caring. I cannot recommend them enough.

Amazing staff, so helpful, an amazing outcome from treatment

I have had composite bonding, some crowns and a bridge. I am extremely happy with the overall improvement in the size, shape and colour of my teeth. They are natural looking and Sunil worked hard to get me the result I wanted in time for my son's wedding.Would highly recommend this dental practice. The whole team are very friendly and were keen to see the end result.

Saw Chloe the hygienist today . Very welcoming, kind and patient. Put me at ease and talked through all the procedures. Very friendly receptionists. Highly recommend this practice.

Can I thank everyone there they are so supportive and helpful I don’t know what I would have done without them and the quality of work is amazing thank you and I would highly recommend dental kind for any dental work thanks again John Lawrence

What a fantastic dental practice. I can't praise them enough for the very kind way they have treated me and the great work they have done. For the first time I can start to smile with confidence. Highly recommend!!!

By far the best dentistry I’ve experienced. I cannot praise the excellence demonstrated along with professionalism and caring friendly efficient reception staff. I needed urgent treatment that was carried out both promptly and effectively in perfect surroundings. I’m looking forward to my next appointment… how often is that stated 🙏

Hello… my experience with the hygienists and Dr Sunil was at a very professional level when I visited in December 2022….and the dental practice has reached a high level in all aspects,Well done and keep up the good work the whole team are doing!

Having been to several dentists to repair my jaw I have found that DentalKind in Billericay to be the most compassionate of them all. They take patients welfare seriously. I am having major surgery on my jaw with replacement teeth on a neo-arch. All the work to be done has been explained to me and when I have had questions these have been answered promptly and satisfactorily so that I understand every step of the way. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone wanting to undergo surgery and definitely to those who have issues with dentists.

Excellent service and care. The best dentist I have ever had.

Sunil and DentalKind have been an excellent choice as my dentist. I researched a number of private dentists in the area before choosing these guys, and I was a little apprehensive as I had never previously used a private only dentist and I was worried about the costs involved.I have to say that from the very beginning, Sunil and the team never made me feel that they put their commercial interests in front of what was right for me and my desired outcome. There were points during my treatment where I was even recommended to possibly see a NHS dentist if it worked out more viable for me. I always felt like everyone from the dentist, the dental nurse and admin team went the extra mile to ensure service was excellent. I am super pleased with the outcome and intend to go back and use their services again soon. As the saying goes, you pay for what you get.

Great service from start to finish, had so many other Dentists say "my issue couldn't be fixed" until I went to see Dr Sunil. Had a really good consultation and then the actual treatment was fantastic, I was made to feel at ease and felt comfortable throughout. I'm so happy with the result. Thank you DentalKind and Dr Sunil.

The Doctor was very friendly and helpful.

I was rigid with fear at the thought of a wisdom tooth extraction, 2 large replacement fillings + periodontal treatment.I hadn’t been to a dentist since before the pandemic when my previous dentist retired and anyhow the injections I used to have never made my visits any easier…I was always terrified.Recommended by my husband, step forward Dr Sunil and his team at Dentalkind and take a HUGE bow.Together with Dr Paschal who kept me sedated throughout the procedure I felt no pain, no discomfort and no stress.The care throughout & afterwards was exemplary, and after a good sleep when I got home I suffered no after-pain whatsoever.Thank-you Dentalkind, from the bottom of my root canals, for the care & professionalism shown to me and for bringing my smile back.

I worked with dr Rahul and I have nothing bad to say, from my first consultation he has provided honest and good advice on what it was I was looking for, extremely professional, the best dentist I have ever been too, customer service is fantastic along with the facility being clean and hygienic.

Dr Rahul saw me on an emergency consultation to review a chipped front tooth due to an accident over the weekend which needed to be urgently fixed ahead of a wedding. He was incredibly thorough in explaining the possible courses of treatment and the process for narrowing down on the exact treatment needed. Dr Rahul and the nurse did an exceptional job in repairing the chipped tooth with composite bonding, so much so my partner couldn't tell which tooth I had chipped in the first place. Excellent staff and service all round and couldn't be more thankful. Would highly recommend!
