Little Smiles Week: 25th-31st May 2026


Free dental check-ups for children - no referral needed

Getting your child to a dentist shouldn't be complicated. During Little Smiles Week, Colosseum Dental practices across England are opening their doors to offer free check-ups for children - no referral, no fuss, just a friendly appointment to keep their smile healthy.

We know that dental care isn't always easy to access. Cost, availability, and finding the right practice can all get in the way, especially when it comes to children's appointments. That's why once a year, a number of our practice run Little Smiles Week: a dedicated initiative to help children who might otherwise miss out on getting the check-up they need.

Why children's dental check-ups matter

Regular dental check-ups help catch tooth decay, gum problems, and developmental concerns before they become bigger - and more expensive - issues. Early visits also help children feel comfortable at the dentist, which sets them up for a lifetime of better oral health.
