Children's Dentistry
Helping little smiles feel comfortable at the dentist.
From first dental visits to regular check-ups and preventive care, we take the time to help children become familiar with the dental environment while looking after their developing teeth, gums and bite.
Every child is different. Dental visits and treatment are adapted to your child's age, dental needs and level of comfort.
A little adventure for little smiles.
We keep the first visit relaxed and fun. Your child can get to know us, explore the room and take each step at their own pace.

Looking after little smiles.
Regular visits help us get to know your child, spot concerns early and discuss ways to care for their growing teeth.
Extra protection for back teeth.
Deep grooves in back teeth can trap food and be difficult to brush. A fissure sealant is a thin coating placed over selected grooves to help protect them from decay.
- We clean and prepare the tooth.
- We place the sealant in the grooves.
- A dental light hardens the coating.
We recommend sealants only where appropriate after assessing your child's teeth and risk of decay.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
Eligible children aged 0–17 may receive up to $1,158 over two calendar years towards selected basic dental services. The available amount depends on their eligibility and remaining balance.
Covered services can include check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealants, fillings, root canals and extractions, subject to scheme rules.
Protect their smile while they play.
A custom-fitted mouthguard is made for your child's teeth and bite. It can help reduce the risk and severity of injuries to the teeth and mouth during sport.
Fit first. Then play.
We assess your child's teeth and arrange a mouthguard made specifically for them. A secure fit can make it more comfortable to wear during both training and games.
When to wear one: Consider a mouthguard for activities with a risk of impact to the face or mouth, including basketball, football, hockey, combat sports and skateboarding.
As children grow, their mouthguard's fit may need to be reviewed.
