To help your child overcome the fear of the dentist, it’s important to create a positive dental experience from an early age. There are many online resources for helping to reassure your child about visiting the dentist. You could also consider role-playing or reading books about visiting the dentist. When your child visits us for the first time, we will ensure a positive and comfortable experience to help alleviate any anxiety your child may be experiencing.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and we recommend seeking a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding.
