THE EARLIER THE BETTER
Parents often ask us when they should first bring their children to the surgery. Our answer is always the earlier the better, especially where dental knowledge is concerned. Even before your child is born we can start to educate you in aspects of dental care relevant to your baby’s health.
Good dental health procedures learnt early should stay with your child for life.
One problem has always been how to create a happy and enjoyable environment in
which to learn. Well, we have solved that with our play area and with the help of Kirby
the chimpanzee.

Kirby features in our interactive multimedia program which communicates the important
topics of dentistry to children and their parents. Using positive images of dentistry,
this wonderful program shows how first visits to the surgery can be fun, educational
experiences far removed from the days of the dreaded school dentist.
Communication is made easy with presentations involving full motion video where adorable
animals become the teachers. There’s nothing else in dentistry quite like
‘Kirby’s Tooth Fairy Tales.’ Children just love coming to see us at
Oakmead.
Parents also love Kirby’s stories so much that we have difficulty in encouraging them
to view their own educational programmes!
