Stokesley dental practice

Looking after local children’s oral health

With the latest concerns surfacing around the oral health of children, and the increasingly difficult task of finding an NHS dentist for our young ones, a dental practice in Stokesley is doing all that it can to help make a difference.

Recent reports have shown that Middlesbrough has the highest level of decay in five-year-olds’ teeth in the North East.

That is why Archway Dental Practice, part of Riverdale Healthcare, is offering free NHS treatment for local children. Based on the High Street, the practice is running ‘Kids Club’ sessions on a Saturday as well as making appointments available for parents to bring their children after school.

Talking about the opportunity, Practice Manager Clare Hesse said:

“All of the team here at Archway fully understand the importance of maintaining children’s oral health and providing them with access to NHS treatment, which is why we were keen offer these sessions to the local community. We’re certainly excited to meet more new faces, and help as many people as possible”.

In addition to the children’s NHS appointments, the practice also offers a ‘Dental Essentials’ scheme for adults – a cost-effective, independent alternative to the NHS for patients seeking high-quality care. The scheme uses similar materials and equipment as the NHS to ensure that patients receive exceptional care, maintaining your oral health without the cost of private treatment.
