Children’s Teeth

Children Dentistry in Randwick

At your practice, we believe that children's dental care should start early to set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Regular dental check-ups from a young age not only help prevent painful dental decay but also allow us to monitor your child’s dental development closely, ensuring any potential issues are caught early. Establishing these habits early helps children develop strong oral hygiene routines that will benefit them for years to come.

The Australian Dental Association recommends that children have their first dental visit by 12 months of age. Routine visits help children become more familiar with the dental environment, making them feel more comfortable and relaxed during treatments. Our convenient appointment times, including weekends and after-school options, make it easy to fit dental care into your family’s busy schedule.

We also support the Children Dental Benefit Scheme, where eligible children aged 2-17 years may receive up to $1,095 in dental treatment over two years through Medicare. Promoting good oral health early on is essential, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

There are several preventative treatments that your team at Vital Dental can provide for children:
  1. Fluoride applications may be recommended by the dentist or hygienist to help guard your child’s growing teeth from developing decay. The fluoride is painted onto the surface of the teeth, helping to mineralise them.
  2. Tooth-coloured fissure sealants can be applied to the biting surfaces of children's teeth to prevent decay.
  3. Studies have shown that the younger your child is when attending their first dental appointment, even if just for a check-up, the more likely they are to have a positive experience and to grow up unafraid of the dentist. Your team will take special care of your child to make them feel listened to and cared for.
  4. Treating a child from a young age also allows the dentist to spot early signs of underbites, cross bites or overbites developing. As with most dental problems, the sooner you can start to treat it, the quicker it can be resolved.

Prevention is always better than cure, so call the practice today to make an appointment for your child.
