Hi, I’m Dr Jana Nikolovski. I believe that early positive dental experiences can set the foundation for a lifetime of good dental health.
If you’re a parent or caregiver with negative memories of the dentist, you’re not alone—many people carry those feelings, and they can make dental visits feel intimidating later in life. My goal is to change this for the next generation.
I’m passionate about making every appointment fun and positive, helping children feel at ease and building lasting relationships.
I love working with all children and building strong, supportive relationships with their carers. Helping children who have disabilities or experience anxiety is a special interest of mine, and it’s incredibly rewarding to watch children progress from their first visit—when we might not even be able to look in their mouth—to enjoying their time at the dentist and happily sitting through a full checkup, clean, and simple treatments.
I’ve known I wanted to be a dentist since I was 8 years old. I was fascinated by the dentist and loved watching my parents during their appointments—I thought the dentist had magic hands.
I completed my undergraduate studies in 2009 in Adelaide and had the opportunity to volunteer abroad, where I developed a passion for working with children. This experience inspired my path into paediatric dentistry.
I completed my specialist degree through the University of Sydney in 2021, training at the Westmead Centre for Oral Health and The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. There, I gained invaluable experience managing complex cases and working with vulnerable patients with complex medical histories. This foundation has equipped me with a skillset I’m proud to bring to my practice today.
When I’m not attending to little teeth, I love bushwalking and I’m fortunate to have the Blue Mountains at my back door.
I also have a knack for jewellery making, often using dental tools in my craft!
