Our clinic is a specialist paediatric dentistry practice, offering expert care for children with complex dental needs. We understand that some kids require more than a standard visit—whether it’s due to a medical condition, additional needs, or more involved dental treatment.
That’s why we’re here: To make what can feel like a challenging journey as smooth and stress-free as possible. With compassion and expertise, we’re dedicated to helping families feel confident and supported every step of the way.
Hi, I’m Dr. Rebecca Eggers. I founded Norwest Paediatric Dentistry in 2010 with a simple but powerful belief: good dentistry plays a vital role in a child’s overall health.
At Norwest Paediatric Dentistry, our mission is to provide the highest quality, evidence-based care while understanding the vital connection between dental and general health.
But it’s not just about treatment—it’s about building relationships. We’re here to support our young patients, their families, and the community with outstanding care and service. From easing anxieties to creating positive dental experiences, we’re committed to being a trusted partner in your child’s journey to lifelong health and happiness.
Paediatric dentistry is a recognised dental specialty dedicated to caring for children’s teeth from birth through adolescence. It goes beyond regular check-ups, covering everything from preventive care, complex treatment and managing dental issues linked to medical, behavioural, or developmental conditions.
While many general dentists treat children, paediatric dentists complete years of extra training to handle more complex cases. Only those with specialist certification can call themselves paediatric dentists.
Training in the causes and treatment of a wide range of oral diseases.
Expertise in the physical and psychological growth of children.
Ability to comfortably treat children with disabilities and complex dental or medical conditions.
Specialised approaches for managing anxious or very young children.
Our goal is to build patient trust and confidence. That’s why we take a gentle, patient-centred approach—easing anxiety, prioritising comfort, and never rushing treatment at the expense of your child’s well-being.
Decay is a common, but serious condition. If your child is experiencing pain or discolouration, tooth decay could be the cause.
If your child experiences anxiety, has complex dental needs, or finds it difficult to sit through treatment, sedation can make treatment safer and more comfortable.
Chalky molars is a dental defect where a child’s tooth has patches of soft enamel, making it vulnerable to tooth decay.
Dental anxiety is something many kids experience—whether it’s because they’re unsure what to expect, had a tough visit in the past, or just feel a little overwhelmed by the new environment.
A trip to the dentist can be overwhelming for any child, and especially so for neurodiverse kids sensitive to sights, sounds, and smells. We specialise in caring for children and young people with Autism, AuDHD and ADHD.
As a specialist paediatric dentists, we provide expert dental care for children with both physical and intellectual disabilities, and those with complex medical needs.
Toothaches in children are often caused by decay or a bumped tooth, while swelling usually signals an infection spreading to the surrounding tissues.
Kids are naturally adventurous, so it’s no surprise dental injuries are common. Our specialist team is trained to handle these situations with care, addressing both immediate needs and long-term concerns.
Our team of specialist paediatric dentists, oral surgeon, paediatric anaesthetists and oral health therapists work together to provide comprehensive care for emergencies, complex conditions, and children with additional needs who may feel distressed or face challenges in a general dental setting.
We’re here to guide you and your child with care and compassion at every step. We’ll explain what’s happening and the procedure thoroughly to you, and use age-appropriate language to help your child feel at ease and prepared.
Our goal is to create a calm, positive experience—offering options like happy gas and distractions, such as watching an iPad. Our team will ensure your appointment runs quickly, smoothly and with minimal discomfort for your child.
If your child has experienced a dental trauma or has a facial swelling, please call our reception team for further advice and to make an appointment.
For all other concerns, we operate as a referral-only specialist practice. New patients are welcome with a referral from a general dentist or healthcare professional.
