Say goodbye to dental visits that make kids nervous! At Tooth Dental, we focus on making your child’s experience fun and enjoyable. Our goal is for your little ones to leave saying, “When can we come back to the dentist?”
We have a dedicated kids’ corner in our patient lounge, filled with activities to keep them entertained. Once it’s time for their check-up, your dentist will carefully examine your child’s teeth, mouth, and bite. They’ll discuss any concerns with you, provide home care tips, and offer advice on diet. And don’t be surprised if your child receives a balloon animal from our friendly dentists and OHTs—sometimes, the adults join in on the fun too!
We recommend bringing your child in for their first visit around age 3. The first appointment is usually just a fun chair ride and a quick look at their teeth. As they grow more comfortable with us, we can start doing cleanings, X-rays, and even preventive treatments like fissure seals on their back teeth. Dr. Lou and Dr. Sophia, who are passionate about orthodontics, will keep an eye on your child’s bite. Early intervention can often lead to less time in braces later on.
If your child plays sports, be sure to get a new mouthguard every 12 months or whenever the old one feels tight.
Medicare Children Dental Benefit Scheme:
Tooth Dental supports the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS), which provides financial assistance for dental treatment for eligible children aged 2 to 17. If you’re eligible for the Family Tax Benefit A, your child may qualify for $1,000 in dental care over two years, covering services like check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride application, fillings, fissure seals, and extractions. If you’re unsure about your child’s eligibility, give us a call at (07) 3366 1737 and provide your Medicare number to find out.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
