What is Children’s Dentistry?
Children’s Dentistry is all about specialised care for growing smiles. It’s not just about cleaning teeth—it’s about understanding the unique needs of young, developing mouths. At DENTL, we focus on gentle preventive treatments, early diagnosis of dental issues, and educating children and their families about great oral hygiene habits.
From routine check-ups to managing dental anxiety, we make every visit a positive experience that builds trust and sets your child up for a lifetime of excellent oral health.
