Children’s Dentistry in Randwick
One of our greatest passions at Randwick Dental Clinic is helping children of all ages achieve bright and healthy smiles. And we’ve been doing that for many years! Our family dental practice has served generations of families, many of whom grow up and return with their own children.
Just as we’re passionate about helping kids enjoy optimal oral health, we’re also committed to easing any anxiety children may have about visiting the dentist. Our team members are kind and comforting, ensuring that kids feel safe and cared for at every visit. In fact, many young patients look forward to their appointments, because coming to see the dentist is a positive experience!
When Should My Child First See a Dentist?
We recommend bringing your little one in by the age of 1. The first visit is really important, as it’s an opportunity for parents to introduce the child to a dental environment early, so that they can become familiar with all the sights, smells and sounds. The dentist will conduct a gentle exam to look for signs of tooth decay, gum issues or other oral health concerns. The dentist will provide advice on things like brushing, flossing, diet and other healthy habits to start early to help preserve a lifetime of smiles.

We Accept the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule
Did you know your child might be eligible under the Medicare Dental Child Dental Benefits Schedule to receive up to $1,095 of dental cover over 2 consecutive years? To be eligible, your child or children must be between the ages of 2-17. Medicare CDBS offers $1,095 in dental services every two years for eligible children. Coverage includes routine general services like fillings, radiographs, fissure sealants and more! For those children who don’t have a health fund or access to Medicare CDBS, a reduced fee applies to all treatments.
The Power of Preventative Care
Because a child’s teeth are especially susceptible to decay and gingivitis, we routinely implement preventative strategies that keep tooth enamel strong and more resistant to bacteria.
It’s our mission to help children have healthy teeth for life, so we work closely with your family to find strategies that work best for our young patients. As a parent, bringing your child to the dentist for regular checkups is an essential step in providing them with healthy teeth once they reach adulthood. After all, prevention is better than cure!
