Dental care for your child

Empathy is the cornerstone of our approach to managing children’s dental health. Our compassionate and caring team makes every visit enjoyable and stress-free.

During your child’s first dental appointment, we start with a gentle and quick oral examination, to check for gum problems or early signs of tooth decay. We then introduce your child to our friendly team and familiarise them with our fun and welcoming environment.

Dental care for your child

How we work

Meet & General Check-up

We know that for children, especially, visiting a dentist can be scary. That’s why it is important that kids are accompanied by their parents during their general check-up. A familiar face will make them feel at ease.

Evaluation

While they’re in the chair, we check their gums for early signs of current or potential tooth decay and review their adult tooth growth.

Oral Hygiene Instructions

Early development of a good oral hygiene routine – even before your baby’s first tooth has emerged – is an excellent way to help your children maintain healthy teeth. We sit with parents and kids to ensure that they’re flossing and brushing their teeth correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Children’s Dentistry

It is recommended that children visit a dentist by their first birthday. Early visits help ensure their dental health starts on the right track. Our children’s dentist near Keysborough is well-equipped to provide a gentle and positive introduction to dental care.

Children should ideally have dental check-ups every six months. Regular visits allow us to monitor their dental development and promptly address any issues.

Choosing a local children’s dentist offers convenience and helps reduce any anxiety your child may feel about dental visits. Our clinic near Keysborough is designed to be child-friendly, making dental care a fun and educational experience.

Good oral hygiene starts at home. Encourage regular brushing (twice a day) with fluoride toothpaste and flossing (once a day). Also, limiting sugary snacks and drinks can help prevent decay. Our team can provide more personalised advice during your visit.

In case of a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe pain, contact us immediately. We offer emergency dental services and prioritise urgent cases, to ensure your child receives care as quickly as possible.

Fluoride treatments strengthen your child’s teeth and help prevent cavities. We recommend regular fluoride treatments as part of your child’s dental care routine to ensure their teeth remain healthy and strong.

Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to your child’s molars. They seal the grooves and crevices where cavities often form, providing an extra layer of protection against decay.

For children who experience anxiety or require extensive dental work, we offer sedation and pain management options to ensure their comfort during procedures. These options help create a calming environment, making the dental visit more pleasant for your child.
