Introducing Toothbuds
At Toothbuds, we are dedicated to providing exceptional specialist dental care for infants, children, and adolescents – including those with additional needs. Led by Dr Katie Bach, specialist paediatric dentist, our Grey Lynn clinic is designed to be a welcoming, positive space where children feel safe and supported, and where parents feel confident in the care their child receives.
About us
We offer the full spectrum of paediatric dental services – from preventive care and oral hygiene advice, to restorative treatments andextractions. Our team also manages more complex cases, including situations where a child is very young, has high dental anxiety, or requires extensive treatment. To ensure the best experience, have access to general anaesthesia and in some cases can provide sedation services where children meet our criteria.
At Toothbuds, we understand that every child is unique. As registered specialists, we draw on our expertise in both the physical and psychological development of children, while also recognising the role that family, personality, and environment play in oral health. We are trained to diagnose and treat the full range of childhood dental conditions – from tooth decay and gum disease to developmental issues, dental trauma, and more.
Our goal is simple: to help every child build a healthy smile for life, and to make dental visits something they – and you – can look forward to.
