Children’s Examinations & X-Rays
A child’s first dental visit shapes how they feel about oral care for life. At Clarendons, we take that responsibility seriously. Every children’s examination is calm, kind and paced for your child’s comfort. We count their teeth in language they’ll understand. We explain what we’re doing before we do it. And we catch any developing issues early — when they’re smaller, simpler and less stressful to treat.
From the first tooth to the last milk tooth to full adult dentition, we’re here for every stage. Gentle examinations. Age-appropriate X-rays when clinically needed. Friendly language. Reassurance. And plenty of time for questions — from both your child and you.
What happens in a children’s check-up?
Children’s dental check-ups at Clarendons typically include a full examination of all teeth (baby and adult), a gum health check, assessment of how permanent teeth are developing, jaw and bite assessment (to spot any early orthodontic issues), and age-appropriate oral hygiene advice for both child and parent.
X-rays are only taken when clinically needed — usually bitewings to check between back teeth where decay is hardest to see. We use the lowest possible radiation doses and only when the diagnostic benefit is clear. Every appointment is paced for your child’s age and comfort level.

Features and benefits
Our team is trained in paediatric communication. We use fun language, never rush, and build trust gradually. First visits often don’t involve anything clinical — just getting comfortable in the chair.
Decay, bite problems, developmental issues — far easier to manage when caught early. Regular 6-month check-ups prevent small issues becoming bigger, more invasive problems.
You stay in the room. You hear everything we say. You see everything we see. Open, transparent care that empowers you to support your child’s oral health at home.
The Clarendon's Difference
Childhood experiences of the dentist shape adult attitudes to dental care. A negative experience can create decades of dental anxiety. A positive one builds a lifetime of good habits. At Clarendons, we go out of our way to make every visit enjoyable — friendly team, gentle techniques, lots of encouragement, small rewards for bravery. We want your child leaving excited about their next visit, not dreading it.
Our award-winning clinic in Leeds city centre is designed to feel welcoming, not clinical. Calming spaces, friendly faces, considered patient journeys — all of it helps nervous children (and nervous parents) relax. For particularly anxious children, we offer inhalation sedation. For every child, we prioritise the long-term goal: a calm, confident adult dental patient years from now.

THE BRAND PATIENTS TRUST
How much does a children’s check-up cost?
Children’s examinations are priced at a modest fee designed to encourage regular attendance. X-rays (when needed) are typically included or priced very affordably. We offer discounted family bundle pricing where multiple children from the same family attend regularly. At your first appointment, we’ll confirm pricing and recommend a check-up schedule.
We are a credit broker, not a lender.
