BDSc (Hons) (Qld), General Dentist
Dr Astrid Kylstra is a female General Dentist.
I graduated from the University of Qld with first class honours in 1993. I started off my professional life in Canberra for 3 years before discovering the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney. Since then, I have been living and working in the Northern Beaches for over 20 years, 14 of these at the same practice in Manly. Then I began my adventure of opening my own practice here in Avalon.
I am passionate about dental health and helping people achieve their dental goals. As a mother,I am aware of the importance of making the first dental experience of little ones as fun and comfortable as possible. I love treating kids, and have enjoyed watching my patients grow into healthy young adults who have always enjoyed coming to the dentist.
I am very interested in the growing trend of Minimal Intervention Dentistry which concentrates on diagnosing any decay early before it gets to the point of needing a filling, and focusing on establishing proper oral hygiene routines and diet and lifestyle choices.
I am also very interested in finding the right way for YOU, as an individual, to improve your smile. There are many options available and I am happy to discuss these with you.
Another special interest I have is in Snoring and Sleep Apnea. We can provide a snoring solution that will not only improve your long term health, but also possibly your marriage!!
My patients have told me that I make them feel at ease, and I am proud to say that I have converted many “dentaphobics” into loyal patients over the years… You know who you are!!
I am a member of the ADA (Australian Dental Association), the IAPD (International Association of Pediatric Dentistry), and the Manly-Warringah Dental Study group and enjoy keeping up to date with modern opinions in order to provide my patients with the best possible treatment.
