- Less Intimidating Appearance: Shaped like a small pen, not a syringe, which helps ease anxiety before treatment begins
- Digitally Controlled Delivery: Provides anaesthetic slowly and precisely to reduce discomfort during the injection
- Tooth-Specific Numbing: It’s very precise and targets only the treatment area, avoiding numb lips, cheeks, or tongue
- Positive Future Experiences: Creates less fear around dental visits, helping children feel more confident to come back

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend booking your child’s first visit by age two.
Why is it important to bring my child to the dentist regularly?
Regular check-ups help catch small issues early, encourage good habits, and support lifelong oral health.
Are your dentists specially trained in paediatric dentistry?
Our dentists are highly experienced in treating children with gentle, effective care. We work closely with families to support every child’s needs.
How do you help anxious children feel comfortable at the dentist?
We use calming techniques, child-friendly explanations, and a compassionate approach to help even nervous kids feel safe and supported.
How do you help parents take care of their child’s teeth at home?
We offer guidance on brushing, flossing, and nutrition, and share practical tips that fit easily into busy family life.
When do kids need a mouth guard?
If your child plays contact sports, we recommend a custom mouth guard to protect their teeth from injury.
When should my child see an orthodontist or get braces?
An early orthodontic evaluation (usually around age 7) helps us spot alignment issues and determine if your child may need braces. Our dentists can provide this initial assessment and offer braces or Invisalign if appropriate.
How do I prevent tooth decay in my child?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular cleanings with our team.
What is a kids’ dental crown, and when is it needed?
A dental crown is used to protect a baby tooth that’s been weakened by decay or injury. It helps with spacing and bite function until the adult tooth is ready to come in.
Are X-rays for kids’ teeth safe?
Yes. We use low-radiation digital X-rays that are safe and precise for children.
