We sat down with Metro North Oral Health Principal Dentist Dr Tarini Singh to talk about her passion for brightening the smiles of Queensland’s kids and teenagers. 🤗
“Wearing a great smile can boost confidence and improve happiness, especially for kids,” Tarini said.
“I love to create good hygiene habits and positive experiences so kids can grow up with a full and healthy smile, but it takes more than an annual check-up! I want parents to know there’s a lot they can do at home and when visiting the dentist to help foster excellent oral hygiene for their young ones.”

Tiny teeth and growing gums: Five ways to keep your child’s smile healthy: bit.ly/39FpPk1
We sat down with Principal Dentist Dr Tarini Singh to talk all things teeth! 🦷 She looks after our Child and Adolescent Oral Health Services and is passionate about young gums.
"I love working with children, they have a natural curiosity and enthusiasm to learn - it's a privilege to be involved in this part of their development," she said.
"It's wonderful knowing I can be the first person to mould positive dental experiences, we all know most adults hate going to the dentist!
"When children smile more often it can improve their confidence in different aspects of their life and can help to shape their future. I love being able to make their smile as big and as beautiful as can be." 😁
Tarini is the kindest person. She is fantastic at her job and always supports her team to be the best they can be too. Her smile is contagious! Thank you for all that you do, Tarini.
