KidsSmile Paediatric Dental
We are amongst the first specialist paediatric practices in regional Australia. Since moving to our new custom designed child friendly practice in 2010, our core passions have remained: improving the dental health of children resulting in improved quality of life. From our vast experience and continual upskilling, we have fine-tuned our ability to both provide excellent results and make the experience of your visit as pleasant and calming as possible for your little ones.
Fun Experience for the Children
From the moment you enter our practice you will see that your child’s enjoyment is front of mind in everything we do. We want our practice to be somewhere they enjoy visiting and look forward to returning to. We endeavor to put fun into every step of your child’s experience with us.
