How much does children’s dentistry cost in Merton?
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. For a fuller overview, see our Children’s Dentist in London hub, and our NHS dentist London hub for what the NHS covers.

How many dentists in Merton offer children's dentistry?
12 of the 44 CQC-registered dental practices in Merton name children's dentistry on their own website. They are all listed on this page; we verify treatments from each practice's own site rather than guessing from directory categories.
Is children's dentistry free on the NHS?
Yes. NHS dental care is free for anyone under 18, and for under-19s in full-time education. There is no NHS registration, so you can ask any NHS practice whether it is taking new child patients.
When should a child first see a dentist?
Take your child when their first milk teeth appear, and before their first birthday. The first visit helps your child get used to the dentist, and you get advice on brushing and diet.
