Thank goodness for Dr Nadine (Nisreen) Faris. My 5 year old daughter needed urgent attention on a baby tooth that was about to go absessed (much to my horror! Where did we go wrong?!).
At our referral from the also-extremely-good Stonefields Children's community dental centre, it was expected that the tooth would need to be extracted :(
HOWEVER, thanks to the wonderful dentist Dr Faris at Glen Innes Dental Centre, and her dental assistant, who enabled my girl to be really relaxed and calm (we listened to my daughter's fave children's stories on my phone during the process). Because she was so calm with no tears or fears, it meant that Dr Faris could SAVE the tooth, and perform a root canal and give my daughter a crown. (She did this because she felt it was too early to pull that tooth out, and it would cause problems with the other teeth closing the gap before the next adult tooth came up.)
Thank you so much Dr Faris! We highly recommend her as a great dentist for children.
My daughter has made them a big card saying "You are the best dentists in the world"! read more
