Children's dentistry
The paediatric department runs the hospital's Centre for Kids Dentistry — a separate space where children are treated at their own pace, with a first visit that is often familiarisation rather than treatment.
Work ranges from prevention (fluoride, sealants, diet and brushing guidance) through milk-tooth fillings and pulpectomy, to habit counselling for thumb sucking and mouth breathing and early referral for growth-related bite problems.

How a case usually runs
Step 1
Familiarisation visit
A look, a count and a ride in the chair — treatment is not forced on a first appointment where it can be avoided.
Step 2
Prevention plan
Fluoride, sealants and specific brushing and diet advice, with the parent involved rather than instructed.
Step 3
Treatment at the child's pace
Short appointments where possible; sedation discussed for extensive work or high anxiety.
Step 4
Growth reviews
Periodic checks to catch bite and habit problems while growth can still be used to correct them.

Common questions
When should a child first see a dentist?
A first visit around the first birthday, or when the first teeth appear, is ideal — mainly so parents get prevention advice early and the child gets used to the place before anything needs doing.
Milk teeth fall out anyway — why treat them?
Because they hold space for permanent teeth, are needed for chewing and speech, and because untreated decay in a milk tooth causes pain, infection and can damage the permanent tooth forming underneath.
My child will not sit for treatment. What are the options?
Behaviour-guided short visits work for many children. For extensive work or significant anxiety, sedation options are discussed with you in detail, including what is and is not appropriate for your child's age and health.
