Children’s Dentistry
At our kid-friendly dental office, we see children of all ages. We recommend you bring your baby in at about six months of age so we can inspect any teeth that may be coming in.
Building Trust
Dr Alexis Ong (Dentist) and her team ensure that kids have a positive experience at every visit. It’s vital that we build trust with all of our young patients. We tell parents that we want to forge a lifetime relationship with their child so they can enjoy optimal oral health throughout every stage of life.
What to Expect at the First Visit
By practicing great oral hygiene habits from a young age, children can grow up with a healthy and bright smile. At your child’s first appointment, we will teach them how to maintain their oral hygiene. Correct brushing and flossing techniques will be demonstrated. We also may have you or your child hold a mirror as we count their teeth with them. This makes the visit interactive and fun for your child.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
The CDBS provides assistance for basic dental treatment over a two-year period for eligible 2-17-year-olds. Children are eligible if they receive Family Tax Benefit A or other relevant Australian Government payments. Treatment is bulk billed through Medicare. Eligible children pay no out-of-pocket costs. The following services are covered under the CDBS:
- Dental checkups & cleanings
- Fissure sealants
- Fillings
- Dental X-rays
- Extractions
- Root canals
For parents who do have insurance, our practice offers a gap-free checkup and clean.
