Our Approach to Children’s Dentistry
We understand that visiting the dentist can be intimidating for young patients, which is why our team is committed to creating a welcoming, fun, and comfortable environment for your child. Our experienced dental professionals are skilled in working with children, using gentle techniques and a friendly approach to put them at ease during their visits.
Friendly Faces, Families Welcome
From the moment you walk through our door, you’ll be greeted by a warm, friendly team who genuinely enjoy working with children. We welcome the whole family to appointments, and parents and siblings are always welcome to come along and stay in the room, so your child feels supported and comfortable right from the start.
What Happens at Your Child’s Check-Up
Every children’s check-up is gentle, unhurried, and easy to follow along with. Here’s what we do at each visit:
- Check your child’s teeth and gums
- Monitor how their teeth and jaw are growing
- Look for any early signs of decay or plaque build-up
- Clean their teeth using our gentle electric cleaning tool, which is very quiet and designed to keep little ones comfortable
- Recommend coming back in six months to stay on track

Our children’s dentistry services include regular check-ups and cleanings, dental sealants and fluoride treatments, tooth-coloured fillings, orthodontic evaluations and referrals, emergency dental care, and oral hygiene education and preventive care.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) Accepted
Our practice is pleased to accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), a government-funded program that provides eligible children aged 2-17 with access to essential dental services.
The CDBS covers up to $1,158 of dental services per child over a two-year period, ensuring that your child receives the dental care they need without financial stress.
