    Appointments for Kids

    To prevent minor dental issues becoming big problems, we recommend you bring your children in for their first check-up before they reach 2 years of age, and subsequently booking in for a consultation every 6 months. This allows our dentists to monitor your children’s oral health and tooth eruption patterns. It’s best if your children’s first experience occurs at a time before invasive work becomes necessary. Early check-ups make it easier to build rapport and establish trust with the dentist for future visits.

    To keep our patients smiling, we combine the latest pain-free technology with more than 20 years of experience, the Child Dental Benefits Scheme,and friendly advice for preventative care.

     

    Pain-Free Dentistry

    The pain-free dental technology at our South Melbourne clinic – including The Wand – ensures complete comfort right from the first check-up. The Wand allows us to administer anaesthesia without the pain typically caused by the pressure of the anaesthetic entering the tissue of the gum. The Wand treatment is delivered by our highly qualified children’s dentist in Melbourne and is safe for the whole family.
