Victor Antoniou is our beloved Dental Therapist with over 35 years of experience and has been practicing at EBDG for the past 19 years, principally and proudly responsible for the care and maintenance of children’s teeth. What distinguishes Victor from other dental providers is his approach. When a child first presents for a dental appointment, more often than not apprehension accompanies them. Overcoming this apprehension is fundamental to a successful interaction and is achieved by an age-appropriate approach, an area Victor prides himself on. Victor has always been an advocate of encouraging children’s development, often using his personal time to visit local childcare centres and kindergartens to promote oral health. "I listen, I engage, I explain and I demonstrate all matters before any treatment commences - these techniques have the effect of relaxing the child. Providing information to a child in age-appropriate language serves to relax them, therefore they are much more likely to accept treatment and more than that, the whole experience is empowering and serves to make a visit to the dentist a lifelong habit that is not feared. I have 4 adult children and 8 grandchildren which are an endless pleasure and joy for me, although I don’t have much time for anything else."
