We see children from their first teeth. Regular visits help children get used to the dentist and let us spot problems early.
Not every treatment suits every person. Your dentist will discuss your options with you, including other treatments and the option of no treatment.
Here is what usually happens. Your dentist will explain each step for your situation before you start.
A relaxed visit to meet us and look at your child’s teeth.
We check teeth and growth, clean, and apply fluoride if needed.
We may suggest fissure sealants to protect back teeth.
We show you and your child how to brush and look after their teeth.
Most children go straight back to school or play after their visit. We’ll share simple tips to help them brush well and look after their teeth at home.
We plan children’s treatment to be as comfortable as possible, and some children need more than one visit to feel at ease. We explain any risks to parents first.
Eligible children can be bulk billed under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule, with no out-of-pocket cost for covered services. Ask us to check your child’s eligibility.
Positive early visits help children feel comfortable at the dentist and build habits that last. At Glebe Park Dental, we see children from their first teeth through to their teens, with relaxed appointments and plenty of time for questions from parents.
We suggest a first visit around your child’s first birthday. It is a short, gentle appointment to look at their teeth, talk about brushing, diet and teething, and help them get used to the dental chair.
Eligible children aged 0 to 17 may receive bulk-billed dental services under the CDBS, up to a benefit cap over two calendar years. Eligibility depends on your family’s circumstances — ask us when booking or check with Services Australia.
