Did you know kids laugh 400 times a day?
We’re focused on keeping those smiles bright and healthy!
Protecting children’s smiles is our mission.
Paediatric Dentistry is dedicated to the oral health of children and young teens. Many of the dentists at the White Clinic are also parents, so our primary focus is to make sure that our own children receive the best treatment on the market. We want all of our excellence and expertise to benefit the little ones too. We offer safe conscious sedation if needed, practice non-toxic protocols and use laser dentistry for less noise when possible. Don’t forget that healthy milk teeth lead to healthy adult teeth. We are also the first clinic in the country to work with a leading paediatric orthodontic company in the US that offers sleep devices that improve airway management and consequently helps with school performance and also ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Our paediatric oral health consultation offers:
- Preventive Orthodontic Monitoring
- Treatment of cavities (including milk teeth)
- Topical Application of Fluoride to Prevent Cavities
- Topical Application of Fissure Sealants
- Teaching how to wash and brush teeth and learn the importance of oral health
- Bacterial plaque control and prophylaxis (Guided Biofilm Therapy)
- Sedation if necessary
- Airway management and functional appliances (ask about this if your child suffers from ADHD)
- Laser Dentistry
- Biological Dentistry for kids
Specialised treatment for children. No rushing and always fun.
We follow the Slow Dentistry cornerstones in order to reduce dental phobia. We use the most innovative healing technology and have loving doctors that care about kids.
WE ALWAYS START ON TIME SO YOUR KIDS DON’T HAVE TO WAIT.
Ask about Saturdays. We can open just for you.

Meet Dr. Miguel Stanley, one of the world’s most influential dentists
Dr. Miguel Stanley is the founder and clinical director of White Clinic where, for over two decades now, he has been consistently closing the gap between the outdated idea that oral health is separate from general health. A passionate advocate for high quality dental care, optimal wellbeing and longevity, his career has been focused on restoring smiles with his interdisciplinary team, using state-of-the art technology, software and materials, alongside a strong sense of ethics and minimal invasiveness to better protect his patients. This is the reason he created the No Half Smiles® treatment philosophy and Slow Dentistry Global Network, both aimed at improving the patient experience and the overall quality of care.
With training in implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and functional occlusion, his Advanced Biological Comprehensive Dentistry approach incorporates the full scope of action of modern dentistry. With over 200 keynote lectures given in over 50 countries, Dr. Miguel Stanley’s lectures are critically acclaimed by dentists of all ages and specialties, for the open dialogue and simple and beautiful manner in which complex cases are presented.
Nominated one of the top dentists in the world by his peers and named one of the “32 Most Influential People in Dentistry”, Dr. Miguel Stanley is the President of the Digital Dentistry Society and member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). He recently took on the role as the first Portuguese adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry (Penn Dental Medicine).
