Child Friendly Dentist in Tunbridge Wells, Kent??

Hi there. Can anyone recommend a really child-friendly dentist in Tunbridge Wells, Kent?

He's had problems with his teeth in the past and he's got a real fear of going to the dentist and will not open his mouth even for general check ups. He literally screams the place down.

He had a fall about a month ago and I've noticed that one of his top teeth has now started to go grey, so I've got a feeling it'll need to be pulled out!

What I need is to see a really good local dentist who is experienced with children.

Any suggestions???!!!

Thanks

Its properly too late but my dentist in Southborough (london Road nearly oppersite the little Tesco) is absolutely brillant with kids (and adults) Her name is Remona (can't remember surname) and phone number is 01892 528048. she is NHS so very booked.

Also a friend of my DS fell over and front teeth started to go grey. He was just told that they will stay grey until his big teeth come through and nothing should be done in the mean time.

Hope it helps

ask to see the community dentist -through the NHS - DS1 sees the community dentist as he had a phobia of them - the first couple of appointments just involved sitting in the chair and putting the sunglasses on - which he then got a sticker and new toothbrush for -

Thanks everyone. Have found a new one (went for Oasis in TW) and the same thing happened, but have been advised to go along every month and hopefully it'll get better.

His tooth is still grey, but like you said the dentist recommended doing nothing unless it's causing him obvious pain.

Thanks!
