Parents ask us

Do you see children, or is this a general practice?+

Yes — children and teenagers are our whole focus. We've specialised in young patients since 2002, so everything from appointment length to the waiting room is set up for kids.

When should my child first see a dentist?+

Around their second birthday, or when the first teeth appear. Early visits are short and friendly — mostly about getting comfortable and spotting concerns early.

Do you offer braces for teenagers?+

Yes. Orthodontic assessments in-house; metal and ceramic braces plus clear-aligner options for teens. First assessment free.

What does a check-up cost?+

Check-ups start from $XX (Sample). We confirm every price before treatment, and many children's treatments are subsidised.

My child knocked out a tooth — what now?+

Call us immediately on (555) 010-2030. Keep the tooth moist in milk (don't scrub it) and get to us within the hour.
