What dental care
do my children need?
Dental care for your child begins from age 1 or when their first tooth appears.
Check-ups for your child are essential as we can help monitor the development of their teeth, detect any dental problems early on and provide preventative care.
From age 4, it’s recommended for children to see the dentist every 6 months. From here on the standard dental check-ups kick in with x-rays sometimes needed to check for cavities.
Aside from dental visits, it’s the little things you do each day that make the biggest impact – brushing and flossing your child’s teeth (until around age 8-10 when they have mastered the skills themselves) and avoiding sugary drinks and foods that cause tooth decay.
You’ll save on expensive dental work when you look after your child’s teeth from early on.

FAQs
Dummy sucking can cause teeth misalignment and other dental problems if it persists beyond a certain age. It is recommended that children stop using dummies by the age of 2 to avoid these issues. Talk to your dentist for further tips and information.
Thumb sucking can also cause dental problems, including misaligned teeth and jaw development issues. If the habit persists beyond age 4, it may be time to intervene and help your child break the habit. Talk to your dentist for further tips and information.
You can start using a small smear of fluoride toothpaste on a soft bristled brush to clean your child’s teeth as soon as they appear. There are specific toothpastes for younger children (usually for 0-3 years of age) available at the supermarket and pharmacy.
The Australian Dental Association recommends that a child’s first dental visit should occur around the time their first tooth appears in their mouth or at 1 year of age, whichever comes first.
To prepare your child for their first dental appointment, it can be helpful to read books or watch videos about going to the dentist, talk to them about what to expect, and reassure them that it will be a positive experience.
During your child's first dental appointment, the dentist will examine their teeth, gums, and mouth, and may take X-rays if necessary. The dentist will also talk to you about oral hygiene, tooth brushing, and answer any questions you may have.
It is generally recommended that children go to the dentist for a check-up every six month. However, your child’s dentist may recommend a different schedule based on their individual needs.
You can help your child overcome fear or anxiety about going to the dentist by talking to them about what to expect, using positive language, and reinforcing good oral hygiene practices at home. Watching videos or reading children’s books about visiting the dentist can be helpful too.
No, unfortunately a cavity cannot go away on its own. If left untreated, it can get larger and lead to more serious dental problems. It is important to get cavities filled as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tooth.
