Children’s Dentistry
Get the best dental care for your child
Why start early? We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental appointment around 3-4 years old. This initial visit goes beyond just checking teeth – it’s a crucial step in monitoring your child’s overall health. Our experienced team can spot early signs of various issues that may manifest in the mouth or show oral cavity side effects.
From potential dental concerns and dentofacial deformities to identifying signs of sinus and ear infections, breathing and airway issues, sleep apnoea – our comprehensive approach ensures nothing goes unnoticed.

Through education, we guide children through proper brushing techniques, emphasise regular brushing, and provide helpful tips for maintaining a healthy smile. Our goal is to create a positive and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and excited about their oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should My Child See The Dentist?
The frequency of dental visits for your child depends on their age and specific needs. It is generally recommended that children have their first check-up at age one, followed by biannual visits until they turn three.
After that, visiting the dentist once every six months is recommended until they reach 18 years old. Additional visits may be necessary to address common issues such as cavities or growth-related concerns.
Is My Child Too Young For A Dental Visit?
It is never too early to start dental care for your child. While some parents may hesitate to bring their children for their first check-up due to fear of it being traumatic, the earlier you begin dental care, the better.
Prior to the appointment, you can familiarise your child with the dental office and inform them about the fun activities they can engage in during the visit. This helps alleviate anxiety and ensures a more comfortable dental experience for everyone.
What Should I Bring To My Child's First Visit With Your Children's Dentist?
It is important to bring any relevant medical history or specific information about your child that you believe might be helpful. While a separate examination is not required before treatment, if you have any health concerns, it is best to inform our children’s dentist in advance.
This way, they can consider these factors when planning the treatment. If your child has been to another dentist previously, having their records on hand can be beneficial.
How Much Will Treatment For My Child Cost?
The cost of dental treatments varies depending on the specific treatment and other factors. The pricing estimates provided during initial consultations are approximations.
If you would like to know the exact cost of a particular treatment, you are welcome to contact us by phone or visit our office.
When Should My Child Start Brushing Their Teeth?
It is recommended to start brushing your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts. Initially, you can use a soft, damp cloth or a small, soft-bristled toothbrush without toothpaste.
As your child grows, you can introduce a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste and teach them proper brushing techniques.
