About Janine
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with children, individuals with special needs, and adults. I'm particularly passionate about early childhood development and the important role we play in identifying potential concerns before they become more complex.
I have a strong and growing interest in airway health, breathing, and the early signs that may indicate a child is experiencing difficulties with their breathing or oral development. I believe that recognising signs such as mouth breathing, altered oral habits, and other potential airway-related concerns early can open the door to timely assessment, appropriate referrals, and early intervention.
My approach is centred on prevention, education, and looking beyond the teeth to consider the bigger picture of a child's growth and development. I'm passionate about working alongside families and other health professionals to support healthy breathing, optimal oral development, and healthy long-term outcomes for every child.
For me, it's about more than dentistry. It's about making a difference early, empowering families with knowledge, and helping children build the foundations for a healthier future.
