Healthy smiles start with good habits early.

A child’s dental visit is about so much more than checking their teeth. It’s an opportunity to help them become familiar with the dentist, build confidence and learn simple habits that can support their oral health as they grow.

Swipe through to learn what to expect at your child’s first visit, brushing techniques for little teeth, and how everyday food and drink choices can affect dental health.

Our Oral Health Therapists love helping children feel comfortable in the dental chair while giving parents practical advice that works at home.

You should never leave the dentist wondering what was just said.

We believe good dental care includes taking the time to show you what we can see, explain your options clearly and answer your questions in language that makes sense.

No unnecessary jargon. No pressure. Just clear information so you can understand your dental health and make informed decisions about your care.

That’s part of what Dentistry Reimagined means to us.

Meet Dr Cindy Lay.

Cindy believes dentistry should always feel gentle, comfortable and patient-centred.

She particularly enjoys restorative, children’s and preventative dentistry, and one of the most rewarding parts of her work is helping anxious patients feel more comfortable about visiting the dentist.

Cindy completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery and Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne and continues to undertake further education to keep developing her skills.

And when she’s not looking after patients? You’ll probably find her at Pilates, spending time with family and friends, tending to her growing collection of plants or hanging out with her new puppy.

We’re very lucky to have Cindy as part of the Portside team.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

Being greeted by someone who knows your name. Having time to ask a question. Feeling like you’re a person, not the next appointment on the screen.

Our front of house team is a big part of the experience we want every patient to have at Portside Dental: warm, personal and genuinely welcoming.

Because good dental care starts with how you’re made to feel.
