The benefits of a children’s dentistry
Looking after children’s dental health as they grow and develop is vital for their healthy development. Here are a few key advantages of paediatric dentistry:
- Maintain good oral health during childhood
Preventing oral health issues from becoming more serious – through regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices at home – can help your child keep their dental health at its best and avoid dental pain and discomfort during their early years. - Establish good oral health habits for life
Taking your child to the dentist regularly and educating them on the importance of good oral hygiene practices will help to set them up with positive health habits throughout their life. - Avoid dental problems as an adult
The best way to reduce a child’s risk of developing oral health issues later in life is to visit the dentist regularly so problems can be addressed early. By combining preventative children’s dentistry with solid oral hygiene practices, we can help to avoid dental problems in adulthood. - Alleviate dental fear
The earlier you start bringing your child to the dentist, the more comfortable and familiar they will become with the practice – making them less likely to develop a fear of the dentist and dental treatments during their childhood and later in life.
What does paediatric dentistry involve?
Paediatric dentistry – or children’s dentistry – refers to dental services and treatments provided to children under the age of 18. In most cases, your child should begin seeing a children’s dentist from the age of 2, in order to assess and maintain optimal oral health as they grow.

A gentle approach to paediatric dentistry
When we welcome children to our Sydney dental clinic, we want to establish a good foundation for the future of their smiles.
By approaching dentistry in a gentle and compassionate way, we can eliminate fears about the dentist, making it easier to incorporate regular dental visits into an overall health routine.
We avoid scary language, so your child never feels nervous about treatment. Instead, we describe treatment in terms that kids understand and educate them on the importance of good home care.
We understand that each child is unique, so we’ll recommend treatment based on your child’s individual oral health needs, as well as maintaining open communication with parents to ensure you’re well-informed about the status of your child’s dental health.
Our friendly and experienced dental team is here to take care of all your child’s dental health needs, so they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles – make an appointment today.
