Best Pediatricians In Perth Near Me

4worldlovers: First Smiles is Perth’s first fully integrated centre for paediatric dentistry and orthodontics. We bring smiles to people of all ages.

A smile is a powerful thing. It can instantly spread joy and laughter, or convey kindness and compassion. It influences how people see us, and how we see ourselves.

Dr Siva Vasudavan, Dr Lisa Bowdin and Dr Vaish Gopalakrishnan know the importance of a beautiful smile goes beyond appearance; it can affect our health, our speech and our self-esteem.

They’ve come together to create Perth’s first fully integrated centre for Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics as there are so many benefits from both a patient and treatment perspective.

No child is too young to visit the dentist, and your child should have their first dental visit at around 12 months of age. Baby teeth provide the framework for the development of adult teeth, and looking after them is an investment in your child’s smile for life. While there are many dentists who provide treatment to children, a Specialist Paediatric Dentist has completed additional training in this specialised field to ensure your No.1 receives the best possible care.

4worldlovers: Children are special and have unique needs. The Toothbuds team is specialist-trained to provide the highest level of expertise and the best dental experience for your child to ensure a lifetime of positive dental experiences.

We want every child to grow up smiling, so our treatment recommendations are tailored specifically for the needs of infants, children and adolescents.

Toothbuds Paediatric Dentistry provides the highest standard of care in an accessible environment, catered to the individual needs of each child and their family.

A Paediatric Dentist is a dental specialist who has undertaken years of speciality training at leading universities and hospitals to cater to the unique needs of children of all ages and care needs. Think of it like a Paediatrician for teeth!

Paediatric dentists see all children but also have significant specialist training to treat children with special needs, developmental concerns, medical needs, traumatic injuries or advanced dental issues.

When you bring your child in for their first dental appointment, the Toothbuds team like to begin by making sure everyone is comfortable (even excited!) to be at the dentist.

We like to take a calm, friendly approach and aim to leave only positive impressions to ensure that your child grows up smiling with a lifetime of positive dental experiences.

The Australian Dental Association (ADA), and many other oral health authorities, recommend the best time for your child’s first dental visit is when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday – whichever comes first.

These early visits help to establish a base for a lifetime of preventive care against decay. Our belief is that if you nurture the growing smiles of children, this forms a foundation for a lifetime of stress-free and positive experiences at the dentist.

Early intervention with children’s dental problems is usually better than waiting for bigger problems to potentially eventuate. Giving your child early exposure to a paediatric dentist helps minimise the risk that they may require stressful treatment at a later stage.

At Toothbuds we understand that some children feel nervous about visiting the dentist, even for a simple visit.

Our team employ a range of specialist techniques to provide safe, high-quality care in a calm environment to nurture positive dental experiences.

The Toothbuds team have an intimate understanding of the psychology and management of a child who is apprehensive and are specially trained to use a range of advanced behavioural and anxiety management techniques to reduce the unease associated with a child’s visit to the dentist.

The Toothbuds team is committed to providing the highest standard of care for patients of all ages, and openly welcome patients with special care needs.

Children and adults with a history of developmental delay, sensory issues, autism spectrum disorder, behavioural issues or learning difficulties commonly experience particular difficulties and stress associated with visits to the dentist.

We understand that maintaining the oral health of patients with special needs can be particularly difficult and aim to tailor our care as best as possible to the individual needs of our patients. To discuss how we can best cater for people with special needs, contact the Toothbuds team.

We’re here to help. Children can fall or injure their teeth at any time and without warning. You can rely on the Toothbuds team to help you out as best we can.

A dental emergency is a situation that requires prompt attention from a dental professional. Teeth can be cracked, chipped or loosened from accidents in ways not visible to the naked or untrained eye, and failure to seek expert care promptly may mean risking avoidable long term damage.

At Toothbuds, we understand that you can’t plan for urgent care. If your child experiences a dental emergency or trauma, contact us as soon as possible. Patients in pain will always receive first priority for appointments and our team will do everything possible to offer our care.

The Toothbuds team strives to provide affordable and accessible care. We have several payment options and we bulk bill eligible patients.

At Toothbuds, all children eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) are bulk billed, 100% of the time (as long as there is sufficient balance remaining).
