I just had my first visit to McEvoy Dental. I saw Dr. Ricardo who was extremely friendly and professional. He did a thorough examination and advised me about my next course of treatment. I am usually a bit nervous...

I don't usually write reviews online, but after today's consultation with Dr. Gosia, I feel compelled to share my experience and recommend this dental clinic to everyone. I scheduled an appointment because I've been wearing braces for a year, which I had gotten at a different clinic, and I had a feeling that the person handling my treatment was not doing it properly and was unnecessarily prolonging it. I received a referral to Dr. Gosia, so I booked an appointment and was warmly welcomed. The diagnosis was done very professionally, including a dental scan and x-rays. I also learned about the treatment plan, its conclusion, and the post-treatment checkup. Everything is included in the price at this clinic, and they truly pay attention to every detail to ensure that the patient is happy with their new smile. I'd like to add that Dr. Gosia was not only highly professional but also incredibly kind and friendly. Her warm and caring demeanor made the whole experience even more pleasant, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist to guide me through this journey to a healthier smile.

Everything you need to know about children’s dentistry in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare

Children's Dentistry

What is children’s dentistry?

Children’s dentistry focuses on protecting young smiles through prevention, gentle treatment, and building positive habits. From baby teeth to teenage orthodontics, our dentists ensure every stage of your child’s development is cared for.

Children's Dentistry

When should my child first visit?

We recommend booking an appointment as soon as their first teeth appear. Early visits help us monitor development and show parents the best hygiene techniques. Families across Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan, and Artane often find that introducing children early helps reduce dental anxiety later.

Children's Dentistry

Our dentists offer a wide range of treatments for children, from preventive care like fluoride and fissure sealants to restorative options like fillings and extractions. We also provide hygiene support and orthodontic assessments where appropriate. Almost any treatment we offer adults has an equivalent option for children, adapted to their needs.

What questions do people in Dublin, Kilkenny and Kildare ask about children’s dentistry?

Your family dentistry questions answered

How can I help my child enjoy visiting the dentist?

Children aren’t born disliking the dentist - somehow, a dislike can creep in over time. At Dentistry.ie, we want to avoid that. Our dentists build a relationship with children, working with their sense of curiosity and explaining everything in a friendly environment. The sooner a child comes to see us, the better, as they are immediately put at ease. This sense of comfort helps make the next visit a pleasant experience rather than one of dread.

Why is early dental care important?

Maintaining healthy teeth and good dental habits is key from a young age. We want to prevent problems before they start, advising on a good dental hygiene routine, identifying and fixing potential issues and teaching children to care about their dental health.

What age should children have their first dental check-up?

We recommend bringing your child into our Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan or Artane practice as soon as their first teeth come through. Early visits help children get used to the dentist and allow us to spot any issues as they develop.

What if I didn’t bring my child in at an early age?

Many parents have other things on their mind when baby teeth start coming through and that’s understandable! However, the sooner you can start bringing your child to the dentist, the better. Often, children listen more to a dentist about caring for their teeth and good brushing technique than to a parent. Early visits can also allow preventative treatments, such as fissure sealants, to help reduce the risk of cavities.

What if my child is afraid of the dentist?

Bring them to Dentistry.ie. Our dentists are passionate about treating children and are committed to ensuring all children have the best possible experience. Book an appointment today. Our dentists are here to help you and your child.
