Kids Dentistry

Gentle care for growing smiles.

We help kids feel safe, understood and proud of their teeth. From first visits to teen check-ups, our focus is prevention, confidence and clear communication with parents.

Why parents choose us

  • Friendly, patient team with a gentle approach

  • Age-appropriate explanations and tell-show-do

  • Short, positive appointments to build trust

  • Modern diagnostics and preventive care to avoid big treatments later

  • Transparent fees and written plans with item numbers

What we do for kids

  • Check-ups & cleans (including gum and bite assessment)

  • Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel

  • Fissure sealants to protect deep grooves from decay

  • Digital X-rays only when clinically necessary

  • Tooth-coloured fillings and baby-tooth (pulp) therapy where indicated

  • Extractions when a tooth can’t be saved or is causing problems

  • Custom sports mouthguards (better fit and protection than chemist versions)

  • Habit & hygiene coaching for kids and parents (brushing, diet, thumb sucking)

If your child has pain, swelling or trauma (e.g., a knocked tooth), book same-day help via emergency dentistry.

First dental visit: what to expect

  1. Warm welcome & chat – we learn about your child’s routine and any worries.

  2. Gentle exam – teeth, gums, bite and jaw development.

  3. Clean & fluoride (if appropriate) – quick and comfortable.

  4. Parent time – findings, photos/X-rays (only if needed), and a simple plan.

  5. Rewards & routine – tips for home and a positive send-off.

We recommend visits every 6 months; sometimes every 3–4 months for higher decay risk.

Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) — up to $1,000 for eligible kids

Australian families may access Medicare’s CDBS, which provides up to $1,000 in basic dental services over two calendar years for eligible children aged 0–17.

Included services typically cover: exams, X-rays, cleans, fluoride, fissure sealants, fillings, root canal treatment on baby teeth, and extractions.

Not covered: cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics (braces), or treatment in a hospital.

How we help:

  • We can check eligibility with your Medicare number.

  • If you choose, we can bulk bill CDBS services so there’s no out-of-pocket cost while funds remain.

  • We track your remaining balance and get consent before treatment.

Tip: CDBS runs on calendar years. If funds are nearly used, we’ll help schedule care to make the most of your benefit.

Age-by-age guidance

Toddlers (1–3 years)

  • First visit by 12 months or when the first tooth erupts.

  • Focus on brushing technique, teething support and diet habits.

Early primary (4–7 years)

  • Fissure sealants and fluoride to prevent decay.

  • Monitoring spacing and bite as new teeth erupt.

Tweens & teens (8–17 years)

  • Sports mouthguards, grinding checks and hygiene around braces/aligners.

  • Conversations about sugar, sports drinks and whitening myths.

For any pain or injury (e.g., a chipped tooth at sport), visit emergency dentistry.

Important: If a baby tooth is knocked out, do not reinsert it. If an adult tooth is knocked out, gently rinse and reinsert or place in milk/saline and come in immediately.

Keeping treatment minimal

We take a prevention-first approach: strengthen enamel, coach great brushing and diet, and treat early when needed to avoid larger procedures later. When the whole family needs routine care, book your own visit through general dentistry while you’re here.

Frequently asked questions

By age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth.

Yes. We use digital sensors with very low doses and only when needed.

Absolutely. We use tell-show-do, numbing gel, short visits and plenty of reassurance. If required, we’ll discuss additional comfort options.

For contact or ball sports, yes. Custom mouthguards protect teeth, lips and braces far better than off-the-shelf guards.

CDBS covers many basics up to your $1,000 cap; it does not cover orthodontics or cosmetic treatments.
