Children's dental health
At Yokine Dental we welcome children of all ages. We like to meet our young patients from the early age of 1 year old.
At this stage we encourage you to bring your children at the start or finish of your appointment so they can have a ride in the chair and we can count their teeth. This is a complementary service so that we can build a happy and healthy relationship with your child.
We really work hard to make sure that our next generation of patients are not "afraid of the dentist". We make their appointments fun and often give them prizes after their appointments.
We treat our young patients with respect and give them the best possible long term dental treatment.
Our dentist Ania has shown a keen interest in treating children and Gavin has 2 young children of his own, and they are both wonderful with our young patients.
Our advice to you as the parent when bringing in your child, or even teenager is to not make a big fuss of the dental appointment. If you have a fear of the dentist do your very best not to pass on that negative feeling to your children and leave the rest to us.
We have included a questionnaire for your child to fill out for us so they can feel like they are a part of their dental process. Let them fill it out and the results will be emailed to us, so we'll have them when they arrive for their appointment.This photo is of our nurse Carmel with her own daughters Alysia,Briana adn Cayla
We have so many children and young teenagers who love coming here, they bring in pictures and treats for the staff and dentist and always have news for us. To us at Yokine Dental Centre that is the most rewarding feeling of all.
