Children's Dentistry in Prospect

Gentle, preventive dental care for children of all ages, with a focus on making visits positive. CDBS-eligible children are bulk billed.

Helping children feel comfortable at the dentist

Every child is different. We take a gentle, patient approach and keep the environment calm and welcoming, so children can build good experiences of dental care from an early age.

Parents are encouraged to ask questions, and we involve children in learning about looking after their teeth in a way that suits their age.

Bulk billing for CDBS-eligible children

Children eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) under Medicare are bulk billed at Mydental. Contact us if you’re unsure whether your child is eligible.

Our children's dental services

Check-ups and cleans

Regular check-ups let us monitor your child’s development, check their teeth and gums, and clean where appropriate.

Preventive care

Practical advice on brushing, flossing and diet to support lifelong oral health.

Fissure sealants

A protective coating that may be recommended for suitable children to help protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth from decay.

Fillings

If decay is found, a filling may be recommended to restore the tooth.

Growth and development monitoring

We keep an eye on how teeth and jaws are developing and let you know if further assessment is needed.

Happy gas (relative analgesia)

For children who feel anxious, happy gas can help them relax during treatment. It’s a mild option that wears off quickly.

Questions

Children's dentistry FAQs

When should my child first visit the dentist?

Children are generally encouraged to have their first visit around the time their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday.

How often should children have check-ups?

Regular visits are recommended. Your dentist may suggest a schedule based on your child's oral health.

What happens at a child's appointment?

Usually an examination of the teeth, gums and mouth, preventive advice, and a clean where appropriate.

What if my child is nervous?

We take a gentle, supportive approach and work at your child's pace wherever possible. Happy gas may also be an option for anxious children.

Is sleep dentistry available for children?

Sleep dentistry may be appropriate for some children, depending on their needs and the treatment planned. Your dentist will discuss the options after an assessment.

Is my child eligible for the CDBS?

Eligibility is set by Medicare. Our team can help you check, and CDBS-eligible children are bulk billed at Mydental.
