How much does children’s dentistry cost in Islington?

NHS dental care is free for children under 18, and under 19 in full-time education, so most children’s dentistry is covered on the NHS at no cost. Where families prefer to go private, a children’s check-up in London typically costs between £40 and £75, with any treatment charged on top. Taking children for regular check-ups from an early age helps prevent problems and builds a positive, fear-free relationship with the dentist.
