My 5 year old had two teeth knocked out and one broken in a playground accident. I rang Kim, and she opened her surgery up at 8pm to see us straight away. She was excellent with him, very calm and reassuring. The broken tooth needed to be pulled, and it was done with no fuss or pain. Can't recommend Kim highly enough!

I believe that Dr Kim can and will tell you if your teeth and/or throat is showing any signs of your health issues. She is a great dentist. Her Assistant, Stacey is efficient and fantastic. Thank you, Dr Kim & Stacey, for looking after our teeth and beyond!
