Meet Dr Meg: Your Child’s Paediatric Specialist

Dr Meg is a board-certified specialist paediatric dentist who has dedicated her career to understanding the unique dental needs of infants, toddlers, children and teens. Her specialist training includes child psychology, behaviour management, dental development and advanced treatment techniques—skills that allow her to provide high-quality, age-appropriate care in a warm and reassuring manner.

Parents love her patient, comforting style. Kids love her fun, friendly approach. And everyone appreciates her commitment to creating safe dental experiences for children of all temperaments, including those who may be anxious, shy or require additional support.

Whether your child is celebrating their very first dental visit or needs ongoing care, Dr Meg aims to ensure they feel understood and supported every step of the way.

Benefits of Children's

Children’s dentistry plays a vital role in protecting young smiles and supporting healthy development. With a paediatric specialist like Dr Meg, your child can receive age-appropriate care, reassurance and guidance that sets the foundation for excellent oral health. Here are three benefits.

Early Prevention and Healthy Habits

Regular children’s dental visits can help detect concerns long before they become painful or costly. Early prevention can reduce the need for more complex treatments as your child grows.

Comfortable, Positive Dental Experiences

Paediatric dentists are trained to communicate with kids using gentle language, calm reassurance and fun, kid-friendly techniques. This helps minimise fear and anxiety, especially for younger children.

Monitoring Growth and Development

Kids’ teeth, jaws and facial structures change quickly, and regular dental visits allow specialists to track development at every stage. Paediatric dentists like Dr Meg can identify early signs of developmental concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?

At our practice, we accept coverage through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). This government initiative helps families access essential dental care for children aged 2–17 by providing up to $1,000 in benefits every two years for eligible patients.

Eligible services include a wide range of preventive and restorative treatments, such as dental check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, fillings, extractions and certain other procedures, depending on your child’s needs. By using the CDBS, families can ensure their children receive professional dental care without financial stress, promoting healthy teeth and gums from an early age.

Our team will assist you in verifying eligibility and submitting claims directly to Medicare, making the process as simple and stress-free as possible. With bulk-billed access to CDBS services, your child can maintain regular dental check-ups, receive timely treatment for any dental issues and establish good oral health habits that last a lifetime.

Have Questions? We Welcome Your Call

If you have any questions about eligibility, covered services or how to make the most of your child’s dental benefits, our friendly team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Why Do Patients Choose a Paediatric Specialist?

Children’s mouths grow and change rapidly, and their oral health needs are very different from those of adults.

Dr Meg offers:

Expertise in child-specific dental conditions
A non-threatening, kid-friendly environment
Age-appropriate communication and guidance
Compassionate behaviour management techniques

This level of care helps prevent dental issues early, encourages lifelong healthy habits, and gives families peace of mind knowing their child is in capable hands.
