Dental Check-Ups for Children
We provide dental check-ups and oral health assessments for infants through to teenagers.

What are some important dental health services young children will need?
Dental checkups
Regular dental checkups with a paediatric dentist are essential, starting as early as the first tooth erupts or by age one. These checkups help monitor oral development, identify issues early, and establish good oral hygiene habits.
Teeth cleaning
Dentists will clean a child’s teeth during checkups. This involves removing plaque, tartar, and stains, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
Dental X-rays
X-rays may be needed to assess the development of permanent teeth, identify cavities, and monitor tooth eruption patterns. Paediatric dentists use lower radiation doses for children.
Oral hygiene education
Dentists guide proper oral hygiene practices, including toothbrushing techniques, flossing, and diet recommendations.
Cavity fillings
If a child develops a cavity, it should be promptly treated with a filling to prevent the decay from spreading further.
Orthodontic assessments
Some children may require orthodontic evaluations to assess misaligned teeth or bite problems. Early intervention can be crucial in correcting these issues.
Tooth extractions
Primary teeth may sometimes need to be extracted due to severe decay or other issues to prevent complications.
Invisalign
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option for older children and teenagers with crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, or other malocclusions. It involves using clear, removable aligners that gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign can help improve the aesthetics and function of a child’s smile without the visibility and discomfort associated with traditional braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should I first bring my child to a dentist?
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children have their first dental visit by the time their first tooth erupts or around their first birthday, whichever comes first.
How often will my child need check-ups?
This may vary depending on your child’s oral health needs and any recommendations from their dentist. As a general guideline, most children should have regular dental check-ups every six months.
When should my child start brushing their teeth, and how should I help them?
You can start cleaning your child’s gums with a soft, damp cloth even before teeth emerge. Once the first tooth appears, use a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and water.
Are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?
Yes, baby teeth (primary teeth) are important for a few reasons. They help with speech development, proper chewing, and guiding the eruption of permanent teeth. Good oral care for baby teeth sets the foundation for healthy permanent teeth.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
To help your child feel prepared for the dentist, talk positively about the dentist and read books about dental visits with your child. You could even play pretend dentist at home to help them know a little bit about what to expect during their visit. Keep the experience positive and reassuring to help reduce anxiety.
What should I do if my child loses a baby tooth prematurely due to injury or decay?
If a baby tooth is lost prematurely, please contact us to book an appointment. Our dentists may recommend a space maintainer to ensure proper alignment of permanent teeth.
When should my child see an orthodontist for braces?
Orthodontic evaluations are typically recommended by age seven. We can assess your child’s dental development and recommend orthodontic treatment if necessary. Early intervention can be highly beneficial for some orthodontic concerns.
