When it comes to your child’s smile, first impressions matter. That’s why we believe dental visits should be filled with kindness, encouragement and maybe even a few giggles. At Arthur Street Dental, our goal is to make oral care something your child looks forward to.
Helping us make that happen are two of our brightest stars: our oral health therapists (OHTs), Jaspreet Singh and Briony Buckley. Their passion for working with children is matched only by their skill, making them the perfect partners for your family’s dental journey.
What Exactly Is an Oral Health Therapist?
An OHT is more than a dental cheerleader; they are a highly-qualified clinician with dual training in dental hygiene and dental therapy. This specialised education allows them to provide comprehensive preventive and restorative care for children and teenagers. From teaching effective brushing techniques and applying protective fissure sealants to expertly treating cavities with a gentle touch, our OHTs set the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Why an OHT Is the Perfect ‘First Dental Best Friend’ for Your Child
- They Build a Positive Foundation: Our OHTs are experts at communicating with children. They use simple, kid-friendly language to explain procedures, turning dental care into an engaging and educational experience.
- A Focus on Proactive, Preventive Care: Our philosophy centers on preventing dental problems before they start. Our OHTs use their expertise to catch small issues like early decay or alignment concerns, saving your child from more complex procedures down the line.
- They Foster Lifelong Trust: The goal is to build a trusting relationship from the very first visit. By making your child feel safe and in control, we help them overcome dental anxiety and feel confident about their oral health for years to come.

A Partnership for Life: How OHTs Support Your Family
