Breastfeeding shouldn’t feel like you have to “tough it out.” If ni**le pain keeps happening every feed, it’s often a sign something needs tweaking—like latch/positioning, thrush, engorgement or blocked ducts… and sometimes a tongue‑tie that’s limiting your baby’s tongue movement.

Signs to watch for:
• Shallow latch or slipping off
• Clicking sounds (losing suction)
• Long, tiring feeds or fussiness
• Cracked/damaged ni**les
• Poor weight gain
• A heart‑shaped tongue tip

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist, Dr Ellie Nadian offers gentle, function‑focused tongue‑tie assessments—so you can get clear answers (and a plan) without the guesswork.

If your child has sensory sensitivities and feeding checks feel overwhelming, submit your details via our website and our team will guide you through the next steps.

Painless Pulpectomy: Save Your Child’s Smile
A deep infection in a baby tooth doesn’t always mean an extraction.

In many cases, a pulpectomy (a baby tooth “root canal”) can remove infected pulp from the crown and roots, then protect the tooth with a crown—often in a single visit. Preserving baby teeth can help maintain space for adult teeth and support healthy jaw development.

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist, we focus on gentle, child‑centred care, with options such as nitrous oxide (happy gas) or sleep dentistry (general anaesthesia) when clinically appropriate—especially for children who feel overwhelmed in the dental chair.

If your child has severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or special needs, submit your details via the link in bio or call us to discuss options.

General information only—individual assessment is required.

Breastfeeding shouldn’t feel like you have to “push through” pain.

A little tenderness early on can be normal—but ongoing ni**le pain is often a sign something needs support, not more willpower. Common culprits include a shallow latch/positioning, thrush, engorgement or blocked ducts… and yes, tongue-tie.

If you’re noticing signs like clicking during feeds, difficulty staying latched, long tiring feeds, poor weight gain, or a heart-shaped tongue tip, it may be worth a proper assessment that looks at function (how baby feeds), not just appearance.

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist, Dr Ellie Nadian provides gentle tongue-tie assessments to help you get clear answers and a plan forward.

If your baby has feeding difficulties and you’re in pain, submit your details via our website (link in bio) or call (07) 3343 4880.

Front baby teeth are meant to fall out on their own… but sometimes they need a little help.

A paediatric dentist may recommend removing a front baby tooth when it’s:
• Too decayed or infected to save
• Damaged from a fall or knock
• Causing an abscess or swelling
• Blocking an adult tooth from coming through properly
• Part of a plan to protect spacing and future alignment

Worried it will be painful? With gentle, child-centred techniques (and options like happy gas or sleep dentistry when appropriate), most kids cope far better than parents expect.

If your child has severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or special needs—and even a simple dental visit feels impossible—submit your details via our website and we’ll help you plan a calmer, safer way forward: www.brisbane-paediatric-dentist.au

If every dental visit becomes a battle—tears, hiding hands, or refusing to open—your child isn’t “being difficult”. Big feelings, dental anxiety and sensory sensitivities are real, and they deserve gentle, child-centred support.

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist (Upper Mt Gravatt), Specialist Paediatric Dentist Dr Ellie Nadian and our team use calm pacing, behaviour guidance and tailored planning for children with anxiety, sensory needs or additional needs. Where clinically appropriate, options like nitrous oxide (happy gas) or sleep dentistry (general anaesthesia) may be discussed to help keep care safe and supportive.

If your child panics at the *thought* of a needle at the dentist, you’re not being “overly cautious” — needle phobia (trypanophobia) is real, common, and it can make even a simple visit feel impossible.

What helps most isn’t forcing bravery — it’s building safety + control:
• Tell–Show–Do (no surprises)
• Tiny, step-by-step desensitisation
• A clear “pause” signal so your child stays in charge
• Distraction tools + calm, honest language (e.g., “a quick pinch, then pressure”)
• Needle-free options like happy gas when appropriate — and for some children, sleep dentistry may be considered

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist (Upper Mt Gravatt), Dr Ellie Nadian and our team focus on comfort-first care for children with **severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or special needs**.

If your child melts down at the dentist or refuses to open their mouth because they’re scared of injections, submit your details via our website (link in bio) or call (07) 3343 4880 — we’ll talk you through the next step.

Chipped baby tooth? Here’s what parents ask us most (and what to do next):

🦷 Should I save the broken piece?
Yes—if you can find it, pop it in milk or saline and take a clear photo. Sometimes larger pieces can be reattached.

🚩 How do I know if it’s serious?
Watch for severe pain, bleeding from the tooth, swelling (gum/face), fever, or if you can see a pink/red “centre” of the tooth. Any of these = call a dentist ASAP.

⏳ Will the chipped baby tooth still fall out?
Usually yes—chips don’t typically change the normal shedding timeline.

🍽️ What foods should we avoid?
Skip hard/crunchy (nuts, chips, raw carrots), sticky/chewy lollies, and very hot or icy foods if it’s sensitive.

If your child has severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or special needs—and a dental injury has made them even more distressed—we can help. Submit your details via our website (link in bio) or call Brisbane Paediatric Dentist.

Dental Needles Don’t Have to Be Terrifying
Dental needles shouldn’t feel like a battle.

Needle phobia (trypanophobia) is common in kids and teens—and when appointments are avoided, small dental problems can become bigger (and more stressful) later.

What can help:
• Tell–Show–Do (we explain, demonstrate, then do)
• Gentle distraction + breaks
• Step‑by‑step desensitisation
• Honest, age‑appropriate communication to give your child a sense of control

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist, Dr Ellie Nadian and our team focus on supportive behaviour guidance, and we can discuss options like nitrous oxide (happy gas) where clinically appropriate.

If your child has severe dental anxiety or needle phobia, call (07) 3343 4880 or submit your details via the link in our bio so we can talk through tailored support.

Did your child bump a tooth… and now it’s changed colour?

A baby tooth turning grey, pink, yellow, or even black after a fall usually means the *inside* of the tooth is responding to the injury. Sometimes it’s just a “bruise” that fades. Other times it can signal the nerve has been damaged and needs monitoring.

Quick colour guide:
• Grey/dark: bruising or loss of vitality
• Pink/red: bleeding inside the tooth (often soon after the knock)
• Yellow: the tooth may be “walling off” the injury (often stays healthy)
• Black: long-standing damage—always worth checking

If you notice pain, swelling, a gum pimple, bad smell, or the colour keeps getting darker, it’s time to get it assessed.

At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist (Upper Mount Gravatt), Dr Ellie Nadian supports children who find dental visits overwhelming—especially kids with severe dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or special needs.

If your child melts down at the dentist or won’t open their mouth, submit your details via our website and we’ll help you plan the calmest next step.

If your child panics at the *thought* of a needle, you’re not alone — needle phobia (trypanophobia) is a real, common reason kids refuse dental visits.

The good news: it’s manageable.
At Brisbane Paediatric Dentist, we use child-centred, evidence-based strategies to help kids feel safe and in control — like Tell‑Show‑Do, gentle step‑by‑step desensitisation, distraction, clear (non-scary) language, and comfort options such as topical numbing gel and laughing gas when needed.

Because avoiding the dentist often turns small problems into big, painful emergencies — and that can make fear even worse.

If your child has **severe dental anxiety** or **sensory sensitivities** and dental visits have become a battle, submit your details via our website (link in bio/ www.brisbane-paediatric-dentist.au) or call (07) 3343 4880 to talk through supportive options.
