We provide friendly children’s dental care in a comfortable, welcoming environment designed to help young patients feel relaxed and confident during every visit. As your trusted local children’s dentist, we are committed to supporting your child’s oral health from their very first tooth through the teenage years and beyond.
Our gentle, experienced team focuses on preventive care, education, and positive dental experiences to build healthy habits that last a lifetime. We take the time to understand each child’s unique needs while helping parents make informed decisions about their child’s dental health.
Children’s dentist services we provide include:
WHEN SHOULD I MAKE MY CHILD’S FIRST APPOINTMENT?
We recommend that children start seeing the dentist when their first teeth appear or by the time they turn one year old.
You are welcome to bring them in earlier if you have any questions or concerns.
Young children generally only need to see the dentist every 6-12 months. We will talk to you about this at your appointment.
GET THEM COMFORTABLE AT THE DENTIST!
It is vital that children get used to coming in to see the dentist while they are young. This will help them form good associations and avoid any fear of dentists.
While children are growing, we monitor their facial growth and dental development closely. This will help avoid crowding of teeth and jaw issues. We also assess and address factors such as large tonsils, sleep apnoea or snoring, mouth breathing and thumb sucking.
Bring your children to see us so that we can diagnose any problems early and your child can develop a happy, healthy, trusting relationship with our children’s dentist.
WHAT ABOUT TEENAGERS AND THEIR TEETH?
If your child plays a contact sport, a fitted mouthguard from your dentist offers the best protection. Chat to us about the colours and styles available
Energy and sports drinks contain high levels of acid and sugar. These can start destroying teeth after only a few days of consistent use. Damaged enamel can cause sensitivity and susceptibility to decay and cavities.

Our practice supports the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), and we bulk bill all eligible children to help make quality dental care more affordable for families.
The Australian Government-funded Child Dental Benefits Schedule is available for eligible children aged 2–17 years. Families must receive certain Government benefits, as the CDBS is subject to a means test, including receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A or another eligible Australian Government payment.
Eligible children can access up to $1,000 over two consecutive calendar years for a range of preventive and restorative dental treatments, helping them maintain healthy smiles while reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Our friendly team is happy to check your child’s eligibility, explain the available benefits, and assist you with making the most of your CDBS entitlement during every visit.
Here at our practice, we support this initiative. We bulk-bill all dental treatment for children covered under the CBDS scheme. To check if you are eligible or check your remaining funds, please contact Medicare or contact us.
