Children

At our clinic, children love coming to the dentist. We encourage children to come along to appointments with their parents at an early age so they feel comfortable in our clinic. We are proud to say that the patients who came to our practice as children are now bringing their own children to see us.

​

Educating children about dental care

​

We practice the technique of ‘Show, tell, do’ to give children confidence in their dental care routine, and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed. We encourage children to raise their hand during an appointment as a signal to stop, and take a patient and caring approach to teaching our young patients about dental hygiene.

​

Setting up lifelong dental habits

​

We provide all our young patients with simple dental hygiene instructions at the end of each appointment, and encourage a healthy diet with sugary treats reserved for special occasions. We offer fissure sealants to help children maintain healthy teeth, and reduce the incidence  of fillings later in life.

 

Six month checkups are available for all children, to ensure there is no delay in treatment and that early orthodontic  intervention can be offered if necessary. We also offer No Gap dental treatments under the Medicare Child Benefit Scheme.

​

Preventative splints and mouthguards

 

We recommend custom mouthguards to all children who play contact sports such as football, cricket, hockey, basketball, and soccer, among others.

 

We also recommend night splints and retainers for our teen patients who have a tendency to grind their teeth at night.
