Why Early Dental Care Matters
Early dental care helps your child:
-
Stay free of cavities and early tooth decay
-
Develop healthy brushing and flossing habits
-
Feel confident and comfortable with dental visits
-
Identify concerns early before they become painful
-
Maintain a healthy smile while their mouth grows and changes
Most children benefit from their first check up by the age of one, or shortly after their first tooth appears.
Our Children’s Dental Services
Gentle Kids’ Dental Check Ups
Routine check ups allow us to monitor your child’s teeth, gums, bite, and smile development. These visits help prevent future problems and teach children how to care for their teeth at home.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our team provides gentle cleaning to remove plaque and keep young teeth healthy. We always explain each step in a calm, child friendly way.
Fissure Sealants
Sealants protect deep grooves in the back teeth where cavities often form. This treatment is quick, painless, and ideal for children who are more prone to decay.
Fluoride Protection
Topical fluoride strengthens the enamel and helps prevent decay, especially during the early years when children are still building good habits.
X Rays (When Needed)
We use low dose digital X rays to check for issues not visible to the eye, such as decay between teeth or concerns under the gum line.
Custom Mouthguards
For children who play contact sport, a well fitted mouthguard helps protect their teeth and jaw from injury.
Support for Dental Anxiety
Many children feel nervous at the dentist. Our calm, friendly approach helps kids feel safe, understood, and in control. We take our time, use simple language, and always work at your child’s pace.

FAQ’s
What age should my child first see a dentist?
Most children benefit from their first dental visit by the age of one, or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help monitor growth and prevent problems before they begin.
How often should children have a dental check up?
Most children need a check up every six months. Some children who are more prone to decay may require more frequent visits. Your dentist will advise what is best for your child.
Are children’s dental visits covered by Medicare?
Many families are eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. This provides up to one thousand and ninety five dollars in benefits over two years. Our team can check eligibility for you.
Will my child be safe during X rays?
Yes. We use low dose digital X rays that are safe for children. We only recommend X rays when they are clinically necessary.
Do baby teeth really need dental treatment?
Yes. Baby teeth guide the development of adult teeth and play an important role in eating and speaking. Untreated decay can cause pain and may affect long term oral health.
When should I be concerned about my child’s teeth?
Book an appointment if you notice sensitivity, pain, white spots, dark marks, swollen gums, or changes in the way your child bites or chews.
