Dentally Aware Daycares
Daycare centres are often the very first point of care and connection for young families — making them a powerful place to support lifelong oral health.
Dentally Aware Daycares is an early years oral health and airway awareness program designed to gently equip educators with the confidence to recognise simple signs that may need further attention.
Delivered by Pamela, an AHPRA registered Dental Therapist with over 23 years of experience, this community-focused education empowers early childhood staff to:
• Lift the lip and notice early visible changes
• Observe simple airway red flags
• Review snack and habit impacts
• Communicate with families in a supportive, non-judgemental way
A 3-hour Professional Development session is available for teams wanting deeper training, practical guidance and open Q&A in a supportive learning environment.
This is not a clinical screening service. It is prevention-based education that helps create environments where oral health is understood, supported and normalised from the very beginning.
Together, we build dentally aware communities one centre at a time.
Looksee Pre-Dental Familiarity & Home Education Sessions
Creating calm, confident children BEFORE they ever sit in the dental chair.
At Looksee, these sessions are designed to gently prepare children and families for a more positive in-clinic dental experience.
This is not a clinical appointment.
There are no instruments, no examinations and no treatment.
Instead, this is a relaxed, supportive educational session that allows families to slow down, ask questions and build familiarity before entering a busy clinical environment.
In-Home Pre-Dental Familiarity Sessions
Delivered in the comfort of your home or mother group, these one-on-one sessions allow your child to feel safe in their own environment while learning what to expect at the dental clinic.
Sessions may include:
• Talking through what happens at a dental visit
• Practising “open wide” and reclining positions
• Learning simple Tell-Show-Do preparation techniques
• Understanding brushing in your real bathroom setup/ play based dental desensitising
• Discussing common fears or past experiences
• Parent Q&A time without feeling rushed/ education and support
Dental clinics are often busy. Appointments can feel quick due to clinical schedules and operational demands. When children walk in already familiar with the process, the entire experience shifts.
The goal is simple:
Less fear. More confidence. A smoother, more rewarding in-clinic appointment.
Small Group & Community Education Sessions
Looksee also offers small group sessions for:
• Mothers’ groups
• Playgroups
• Early childhood centres
• Community gatherings
These sessions focus on early oral health awareness, simple prevention strategies and preparing children for positive dental experiences.
Education may cover:
• Lift-the-lip awareness
• Age-appropriate oral development
• Early habit and airway considerations
• Snack and drink impacts
• Building healthy dental routines at home
• Preparing children emotionally for dental visits
These are supportive, community-focused education sessions designed to empower parents with knowledge and confidence.
Because when families understand early, outcomes change long-term.
The Looksee Philosophy
Education reduces fear.
Familiarity builds trust.
Prepared children cope better.
Calm parents create calm experiences.
Together, we can shift dental visits from stressful to supported.
