Looking after your children’s teeth
The key to a lifetime of happy smiles is looking after our dental health from a young age. At Carisbrook Dental we place enormous importance on caring for the teeth and gums of our youngest patients. So much so that we have a team dedicated to children’s dentistry.

Children’s dentistry at Carisbrook Dental
We believe that prevention is always better than intervention, which is why we want to be extra vigilant to ensure that your child always has a healthy smile.
Dental decay (caries) can occur in patients of all ages. However, there is an increased prevalence in children, who tend to consume more sugary foods and drinks. Whilst treating the decay is part of the solution, we educate our patients on how to maintain good oral health and help prevent further tooth decay.
Education about nutrition, toothbrushing advice, fluoride application and dietary habits are a vital part of children's dental appointments.
Meet Ellie and Mamdouh - dedicated to your child’s dental health
Dr. Ellie Aliakbari is our specialist children’s dentist, working alongside Dr. Mamdouh Al Chihabi to offer a wide range of services to ensure that your children’s dental care is in the best hands. Making use of the latest technology and drawing on their extensive knowledge, they’re here to ensure a visit to the dentist is an enjoyable experience for your little ones, and for you.
If your child has complex dental issues such as multiple decayed teeth, missing teeth, missing enamel/dentine or is anxious/nervous then they will be referred to Mamdouh for an assessment. He also works with our specialist Orthodontist in planning complex cases, which is normally only available at dental hospitals and will provide treatment under inhalation sedation.

Gentle sedation and The Wand
It’s understandable that unfamiliar dental surgeries may be daunting to little ones, so we make provision for children who may feel nervous.
Carisbrook Dental is one of only a few practices in Manchester to offer inhalation sedation for children. We also offer The Wand - a comfortable way of administering dental injections. Our aim is to make your child’s visit to us stress-free, guarding against the chance for dental phobia to occur as they grow up.
A positive experience
We want to ensure that a trip to the dentist is a positive experience, making our Manchester practice an enjoyable place for them to be from an early age.
We appreciate that children may be scared of the dentist and we empathise with that, we will never rush your children and will always treat them with respect. We will give your child and you time to make any decisions that may need to be made after we have provided all the necessary information.
Frequently asked questions about children's dentistry
We advise parents and guardians to bring their children for a dental examination as soon as their teeth begin to erupt. This helps us to monitor their oral health and ensure there are no problems as well as getting them used to the dental environment.
We’re very big on dental hygiene at our Manchester practice. We’d far rather prevent than intervene, and the younger a child is when they learn how to look after their teeth and gums, the more likely it is that they will have a healthier mouth.
Our friendly and helpful hygienists are there to assist your child in learning about dental hygiene. They’ll teach them how to effectively brush their teeth and all about the importance of flossing and brushing their tongue.
We also believe in the importance of fluoride in tooth decay prevention, we regularly apply fluoride to at risk children’s teeth to prevent cavities.
