Leading Children's Dentist in Glasgow

John and Courtney were amazing from our first appointment to my daughter having her teeth removed. The procedure went so smoothly and john explained every step to my daughter.
I would 100% recommend this amazing professional team 😁 Thank you so so much and Freya has had no pain what so ever 😁

I would give this dentist 100 stars if I could. My daughter age 11 is genuinely terrified of even a check up at any other dentist. She attended Kids Dental Care recently for a surgical extraction of a particularly complex sunken tooth that was partially blocked by a neighbouring tooth. From the first consultation to the day of the procedure, before, during and after she was made to feel welcome and very relaxed. John took time to get to know her, put her at ease and had a natural sense of humour well aligned with kids. On the day of the extraction my daughter showed no signs of fear, hesitation or worry whatsoever, this is very unusual for her. The procedure itself was made incredibly easy and straightforward by the state of the art equipment, choice, options and friendly, expert service provided. Making the overall experience easy, quick (not rushed in any way though, with breaks offered, drinks and paced as required) , relaxed, pain free and fun. I highly recommend this dentist and would not hesitate to take my other kids. Aftercare and advice was excellent. It was also extremely affordable. Thank you Kids Dental Care!

My daughter had the best experience at Kids Dental Care. It was her very first appointment, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for it to go any better.

John was absolutely amazing with my 8-year-old. He was so kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. He made her feel completely at ease, explained everything in a gentle way, and turned what could have been a scary experience into such a positive one. I can’t even describe how lovely he was with her. She came out smiling and now calls him “the best dentist in the entire world!”

I also want to thank the other dentist who saw her she was incredibly kind and welcoming too. The whole team made us feel comfortable and cared for.

I truly can’t recommend Kids Dental Care enough, especially for parents whose children feel nervous about going to the dentist. They completely changed my daughter’s view, and we will definitely be using them for all of our children’s dental care from now on.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Can not recommend enough! Put my daughter completely at ease for what could have been a very stressful experience. Thanks again John and team!

Highly recommend. After being on the NHS waiting list for months we decided to go private for my little boys teeth removal. First consultation with John was amazing, he is great with kids and spoke directly to our son and explained everything that was going to happen and made everything fun, everything went very smoothly during the actual procedure and was all very calm, and John even had him laughing. Best dentist we have ever been to.

I honestly can’t thank John and his team enough for the care you gave to my daughter. She was completely relaxed throughout her appointments. John explained everything clearly. I recommend John to anyone that has a child or teen who has a phobia of the dentist. He is amazing with the kids. Thanks again.

Dexter had to get a tooth out and 3 caps, it was a very positive experience for him, he was totally chilled and that was thanks to John and the way he works :) i was thinking the whole time how glad i was that this would be Dexter’s first experience of treatment :) thank you!

My daughter had a tooth removed and a filling. Her dentist John was amazing. He kept her calm made her laugh and eased all her nerves. He explained and demonstrated everything he was going to do making sure she was comfortable before proceeding. John definitely has an amazing rapport with children. I would highly recommend

My daughter has autism and get nervous about the dentist. My local dentist referred us to John and he was amazing with her. After her first appointment she couldn't wait to get back he was patient and explained everything to her and she loved watching netflix while getting her teeth checked.. can't thank him enough she has less fear now about the dentist. Thank you John 😊

Had a wonderful experience here with my son, what could have been a really traumatic experience for him turned out to be really positive. His dentist John was amazing with him, took time and care to fully explain what was going to happen and really put him at ease. I can’t recommend this place enough, thank you so much!

After several unsuccessful attempts to have my neurodiverse daughter’s teeth extracted through the usual NHS pathway, we were beginning to lose hope that the procedure could ever be done without causing her distress. From the moment we arrived at Hannigan, John completely changed that.
He took the time to explain every step clearly, calmly, and patiently—not just to me, but directly to my daughter in a way she could understand and feel comfortable with. His manner was incredibly reassuring: relaxed, unhurried, and genuinely compassionate. For the first time, she felt safe enough to engage, ask questions, and stay in control.
What stood out most was John’s ability to adapt to her needs without making her feel different or difficult. He created an environment where she could relax, and because of that, the extraction was completed smoothly—something we hadn’t thought possible after previous attempts elsewhere.
I’m deeply grateful for the care, professionalism, and understanding shown throughout the entire appointment. For any parent of a neurodiverse child who has struggled with dental treatment, I cannot recommend John and the team at Hannigan highly enough. They made what had felt like an impossible situation entirely manageable.

My teenage daughter is extremely needle phobic and needed adult teeth pulled for braces prep… after struggling with anxiety when our regular dentist removed one we were referred here!! Omg! What a difference, no needles, very calm and friendly, explaining every step before it happened in an age appropriate manner. Fantastic! The referral times are huge because of this but seeing your child calm and relaxed after seeing the alternative was a way better experience for both of us!
