CBD Dentist for Kids
Family-centred children’s dentistry in Melbourne’s CBD
Our friendly dentists look after your child, not just their teeth. We make any visit to our Melbourne dental surgery as stress-free as possible while also making the visit fun and memorable.
We know that some children have a fear of visiting the dentist, so we use our patience and dedication as dentists to be as caring as possible. When kids are happy dental patients, we notice a considerable reduction in dental anxiety and phobias.
We’ve had generations of families visit our Collins Street dental practice, and we encourage young kids to visit the clinic at an early age. Therefore, they can see what we do and become familiar with the sounds and layout of a dental clinic.
Because we’re a dental practice that focuses on preventative care, you can trust us to provide reliable advice. We give advice, tips and helpful hints to help your family develop and maintain solid dental care habits.
We’ll see your child for regular check-ups and cleans, but also when they might need mouthguards for sport, or other specialised kids’ dentistry treatments. We’re your trusted family dentist for all ages and stages.
We also participate in the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule. This scheme provides dental care for eligible kids and teenagers.
Keeping your child relaxed during a visit to the dentist
We really want to make dental visits stress-free for kids. From our experience, we find following some simple tips makes a visit to the dentist calm and relaxing:
- Stay with your child during the appointment. We encourage one or both parents to be in the room, as we find this provides reassurance and support to your child.
- Bring some items to distract your child during the appointment. Fidgets, popping boards or other small things to keep their hands busy are good examples, or even their favourite stuffed toy.
- We can provide a chair for you to sit on, next to the dental chair. Your child will be able to hold your hand, to make them feel comfortable.
Why choose us for your child’s dental health and care?
We understand that a child’s early experiences at the dentist can shape how they feel about dental care for many years to come. That’s why we take the time to make every visit as comfortable, positive and stress-free as possible.
Our dentists care for your child, not just their teeth. We listen to both you and your child, explain what we’re doing in a way they can understand and take things at a pace that helps them feel comfortable and reassured. We never want children to feel rushed or overwhelmed during their dental visit.
As a Melbourne dental practice with a strong focus on preventative care, we also work with parents to establish good dental and oral health habits from an early age. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your child’s teeth as they grow and develop, identify potential problems early and provide practical advice for looking after their teeth at home.
We’ve cared for generations of families at our Collins Street dental practice and value the relationships we develop with our patients as they grow. From their first visits to the dentist through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood, we’re here to provide caring, personalised dental care at every stage.
When you’re ready to arrange your child’s dental appointment, please call us on 9654 5844. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our practice.
