Our Philosophy

At Dartmoor Dental, we want to help local children grow up with healthy teeth and a positive relationship with their dentist — and, importantly, help prevent children ending up in hospital because of dental decay.

We already care for 3,000 wonderful children through our children’s NHS Dental Service.

NHS & Private Children’s Dentistry

We are currently full for NHS children’s places and are unable to accept any new NHS registrations at this time. Whenever more NHS places become available for children aged 0–18 who live locally to Tavistock, we’ll always announce these on our website and social media.

However, if you would like your child to join Dartmoor Dental, we are now welcoming children through our private membership plans from September 2026, giving families another way to access regular, preventative dental care with our team. All child memberships are available to children who have a member parents at the practice. Please contact our helpful Front Of House team to discus the best option for your children hello@dartmoordental.co.uk
