General & Cosmetic Dentistry

Children's Dentistry

Preventive and restorative dental care for babies, children and teens.

We focus on cavity prevention, age-appropriate cleaning, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants, and gentle fillings when needed. We coach parents on diet, brushing and habits (thumb-sucking, dummies), screen for orthodontic concerns, and provide dental trauma advice and urgent care.

Positive visits that build lifelong habits

We use tell-show-do and a calm, child-centred approach. Visits include plaque disclosure (where helpful), gentle scale/polish, fluoride varnish, and personalised home-care plans. For higher caries risk we schedule sealants and shorter recalls; for anxious kids we pace treatment, offer desensitisation, and use numbing where appropriate. We share written aftercare and school letters when needed.

Kid-friendly care, parent-friendly guidance

Same clinicians for continuity, clear explanations in plain language, modern low-dose imaging, and practical advice parents can actually use. We coordinate with orthodontists, speech/feeding therapists and paediatricians when required.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Around their first birthday or when the first tooth erupts—earlier if you have concerns.

Are X-rays safe for children?

Yes. We use digital low-dose images only when clinically indicated and with protection.

Do you offer fluoride and fissure sealants?

Yes—fluoride strengthens enamel and sealants protect molar grooves from decay.

My child is anxious—can you help?

We pace visits gently, use tell-show-do and distraction, and plan short appointments. Complex needs are referred appropriately. We offer conscious sedation should it be needed.

What if a tooth is knocked out?

Place the adult tooth in milk and come urgently. Baby teeth are not re-implanted—call us for assessment.
