Services
Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
Specialised laser frenectomy procedures for infants and children to resolve feeding difficulties, speech impediments, and oral development issues. Our QIP-accredited team uses minimally invasive techniques with rapid healing times, providing post-operative stretching guidance and lactation consultant support. Ideal for families seeking early intervention to prevent long-term dental and speech complications.
Airways-Focused Dentistry
Holistic paediatric dental assessments addressing sleep apnoea, mouth breathing, and facial development concerns. We employ myofunctional therapy and orthodontic appliances to improve airway function, enhancing sleep quality and concentration. Suitable for children showing signs of snoring, restless sleep, or behavioural challenges linked to breathing restrictions.
Emergency Dental Service
After-hours care for urgent dental trauma, infections, and pain management across the Mackay and Isaac regions. Our 24/7 on-call dentists provide immediate relief for broken teeth, abscesses, and injuries, with access to hospital facilities for complex cases requiring general anaesthesia or surgical intervention.
Pre-Orthodontic Therapy
Early intervention programs using Myobrace appliances to correct poor oral habits and guide jaw development in children aged 2-14. This preventative approach reduces the need for traditional braces by addressing thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and narrow palates through muscle retraining and habit correction techniques.
Orofacial Myology
Customised exercise programs improving tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and lip closure for children and adults. Our therapy addresses mouth breathing, speech issues, and sleep disorders through non-invasive techniques, particularly recommended for patients undergoing lip/tongue tie revisions or experiencing orthodontic relapse.

My daughter had a crippling fear of dental clinics that resulted in anxiety breakdown to the point of retreating into herself with silence and tears. Completely incapable of talking. This was due to a terrible first experience…
Today however, with Hannah and Dexter (the gorgeous therapy canine friend), my daughter found herself with a full check up, clean and X-ray. The only tears shed today were my own. I felt relief, joy and thankfulness that my daughter was able to finally have a positive dental experience. When it came to Dr Hany (I really hope I spelt that correctly), My daughter initially

Absolute worst. After 15 mths, paying $400 to have "records taken", and multiple phonecalls following them up, I still don't even have a quote and my son is another year older and worse off. And I'm now hearing I'm not the only one. Waste of money and time. Went to another dentist and got a quote/treatment plan the same day for half the price for the appointment I paid at KIDS.

Such amazing staff, such professional dentists. All about making the kids feel at complete ease and putting their needs first! They also went above and beyond for me doing a coffee run before my daughters procedure. Can not recommend highly enough..

What a wonderful practice. For parents out there looking for a children friendly dentist who will calm them and make a wonderful experience for little people, this is the place. We have tried other dentists for our children which were too traumatic. This practice took the trauma away and created a safe environment !!!! Amazing dentist. Thank you

Would highly recommend Dr Paul Tran, he not only saved me a trip to brisbane (went to rural view and Walkerston dentist and they told me the only place that could fix my kids teeth was in Brisbane) luckily got another opinion from these guys and Paul Tran was fully capable to do it right in Mackay at the matar, he showed a lot of care and concern from start to finish, even ringing up on the weekend to check up on her, would never take my kid to any other dentist.
