A favourite way of explaining things, a sensory sensitivity or a difficult previous appointment can all matter. Sharing these details ahead of time helps us plan the introduction and discuss realistic expectations together.

Questions from parents
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
What if my child is nervous?
Mention it when booking. We can discuss how to introduce the visit and any communication or comfort needs. Some children benefit from a gradual approach before treatment is attempted.
Are baby teeth worth treating?
Baby teeth help with eating, speech and spacing. A dentist considers symptoms, infection, the amount of decay and how long the tooth is expected to remain when recommending care.
