A first visit, early on
The Australian Dental Association recommends a first visit when the first tooth appears or by your child’s first birthday, whichever comes first. It is a chance to discuss development, feeding and home care.
CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY
Little teeth. Good habits. Care that grows with your child.
From a first dental visit to regular check-ups, we help families understand their child’s oral health and build everyday habits. There is time to ask questions and discuss care suited to your child.

The Australian Dental Association recommends a first visit when the first tooth appears or by your child’s first birthday, whichever comes first. It is a chance to discuss development, feeding and home care.
Check-ups help us assess teeth, gums and changes as your child grows. Fissure sealants may help protect suitable teeth with deep grooves from decay. Your dentist will explain whether they are appropriate.
Ask about brushing, fluoride, cleaning between teeth and food or drink habits. Tell us if your child feels worried or has additional needs so we can discuss how to approach their visit.

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) can cover some or all of the cost of eligible basic dental services. Children must be aged 0–17 for at least one day of the calendar year, be eligible for Medicare and meet the qualifying government-payment requirements.
Covered services can include check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealants, fillings and extractions. Orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry and hospital dental services are not covered. We will confirm your child’s eligibility, balance and any costs before treatment.
Read the current CDBS conditions at Services Australia.
