Paediatric Dentistry

Children should never be afraid of receiving dental care. This is critical to lifelong health of teeth and gums. We build unique relationships and bonds of trust with every child, ensuring a positive outlook and they look forward to their dental visits. We make dental appointments exciting, interesting and fun through actively engaging children about their teeth. We use the latest dental technology ensuring a superior level of care. We take a minimalistic, holistic approach to treating children and always consider the longer and least invasive treatment plan.

3 Tips to help conquer your child’s first dental appointment:

1. Practice: Firsts are always a new, big step and a challenge for children and parents alike. The first dental visit is critically important as it establishes the foundation on which all future visits are built. We recommend you practice at home with your child, looking into their mouth and coaching them on what to expect. Use a teaspoon as a dental mirror while you lay your child back in your lap –it is sure to cause laughter and fun!
2. Positivity: Never project your own negative thoughts or fears of the dentist onto your child – this is a recipe for disaster. Always speak about the dentist in a positive light so your child feels confident and safe before they enter the practice.
3. Professional: Always choose an experienced paediatric dentist who specializes in treating small humans! All dentists are technically qualified to treat young patients, but you really want one who has a special interest and passion for children providing a level of attention and care that will make the experience a positive one.
