At Dazzling Smiles Dental, we are used to treating patients of all ages, and we spend a lot of time teaching the kids of the Craigieburn and wider community about good oral health. We understand that your child’s first dental visit can sometimes be a scary experience. On the first visit, we aim to make your child feel as safe and as comfortable as possible. This is vital as their first visit can often form their opinion and attitude towards dental care for years to come.
