Children’s dentistry
From baby teeth to teenage check-ups, our team provides personalised children’s dental care at every stage of development.
What is children’s dentistry?
A good children’s dentist focuses on the oral health needs of babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. Children’s dental care supports healthy tooth and jaw development through:
- Preventative care
- Early diagnosis
- Tailored treatment options
Why early dental care matters
Early dental visits help identify concerns before they progress and influence better habits at home. They help your child get used to seeing the dentist so that they feel more comfortable and confident in seeking care.
High-quality children’s dental care supports:
- Healthy growth and development of teeth and jaws
- Prevention of tooth decay and gum problems
- Early detection of issues that may need future treatment
- Education for parents and caregivers on home-care routines
Comprehensive services in children’s dentistry
Preventive care for children
Regular examinations, professional cleans and fluoride applications help prevent decay and maintain healthy enamel. We guide families on brushing techniques, dietary considerations and protective strategies for long-term oral health.
Children’s dental fillings
If decay occurs, small fillings can restore the tooth’s structure and help prevent further damage. Fillings for children are performed gently, with a strong focus on comfort and clear explanation.
Stainless steel crowns
When a baby tooth is too damaged for a standard filling, stainless steel crowns offer additional strength and durability. They protect the tooth until it naturally falls out, reducing the risk of discomfort or infection.
Children’s tooth extractions
When extraction is required due to decay, trauma or crowding, our approach is gentle and reassuring. We consider the child’s age, future development and orthodontic needs to guide decision-making.
Fissure seals
Fissures, crevices, pits and cracks naturally form on the chewing surfaces of teeth, particularly the back molars. These grooves can trap food easily, making them more likely to develop decay and cavities.
Children’s orthodontics
Treatments to address jaw misalignment, overcrowding, mouth breathing and snoring and persistent thumb-sucking as well as braces to straighten teeth.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
Your family may be eligible for the Australian Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule, which provides up to $1,132 every two years for basic dental services. The programme is available to children aged 0–17 years who receive an eligible Medicare benefit.
Common CDBS-covered services include:
- Examinations
- Xrays
- Cleans
- Fissure sealants
- Fillings
- Extractions
If you would like to check Child Dental Benefits Schedule eligibility, our team can confirm this for you using your Medicare details.
When to visit a children’s dentist
- Tooth sensitivity or discomfort
- Difficulty chewing or brushing
- Visible cavities or discolouration
- Habit concerns (thumb-sucking, grinding)
- Jaw development or spacing issues
Routine visits are also recommended every 6–12 months to support early detection and prevention.
Creating positive dental experiences
A calm, supportive environment helps children feel safe and encouraged during their visits. Our friendly dental team uses age-appropriate explanations and gradual introduction to tools and procedures to help reduce anxiety.
Building trust early helps children form positive associations with the dentist and approach their oral health with confidence as they grow.
