Frequently Asked Questions
What services are included in paediatric dentistry?
Paediatric care includes gentle exams, cleanings, fluoride applications, fissure sealants, early orthodontic assessments, space maintainers, and fillings.
How do you handle nervous or fearful child patients?
Our team uses gentle tell-show-do techniques, positive reinforcement, child-friendly terminology, and a relaxed environment to build trust.
Are paediatric dental visits bulk-billed under CDBS?
Yes! Eligible children receive up to $1,095 over two calendar years in 100% bulk-billed dental treatment with no gap fee.
What are space maintainers and when are they needed?
If a baby tooth is lost early due to decay or injury, a space maintainer keeps adjacent teeth from drifting, preserving space for the permanent tooth.
How can I prevent thumb-sucking from altering my child's bite?
Gentle behavioral encouraging strategies work best. If thumb-sucking continues past age 4-5, we can recommend custom oral appliances to stop the habit.
What should I do if my child breaks a tooth?
Rinse their mouth gently with warm water, apply a cold compress to their cheek for swelling, locate any tooth fragments, and call us immediately.
How do fissure sealants protect children's permanent molars?
Sealants coat the deep biting grooves of newly erupted permanent molars, forming a physical barrier against decay-causing bacteria.
What type of toothpaste should my young child use?
Children under 6 should use a low-fluoride children's toothpaste (smear size), encouraging them to spit out thoroughly without swallowing.
Are parents allowed in the treatment room during paediatric visits?
Yes! Parents are welcome in the treatment room to support and comfort their child during all examinations and procedures.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
We recommend bi-annual checkups every 6 months to monitor jaw development, eruption patterns, and maintain healthy cavity-free teeth.
