Who we are

We are a team of dental professionals led by specialist paediatric dentist Dr Eimear Norton. Our team and our practice are focused on the dental care of children from infants through adolescence. 

We have been based on Emmet Street in Clonmel for 13 years and in that time have enjoyed treating patients from across Tipperary and beyond.

Our approach

We understand that a child's early experiences with dentistry shape how they feel about it for life. 

Every visit is designed to be as calm and positive as possible — because a good experience today means a healthier, more confident patient for years to come.

For those with more complex treatment needs or dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide sedation in the clinic, or general anaesthesia with consultant paediatric anaesthesists in the UPMC Whitfield in Waterford and UPMC Aut Even in Kilkenny.

What is a paediatric dentist?

Paediatric dentists are specialists who have completed three years of postgraduate training beyond their general dental degree, covering all aspects of children's oral health from infancy through adolescence.

Children's teeth, jaw structures, and dental needs are different from adults' — and so are the ways children experience and respond to treatment. Paediatric dentists are trained not only in the clinical aspects of children's dentistry, but in how to help anxious or nervous children feel comfortable.
