Frequently asked questions
What age should my child first visit a paediatric dentist according to Australian guidelines?
The Australian Dental Association recommends children have their first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits with a paediatric dental specialist establish a “dental home” and help prevent future dental problems through early intervention and education.
How do I find a good kids dentist near me?
Look for a dentist who is experienced in providing gentle treatments for children, preferably holds professional qualifications in paediatric dentistry, and is trusted in the community with positive family reviews. The clinic should provide a child-friendly environment that helps kids feel comfortable and safe.
How often should kids visit the dentist in Australia?
Most children should visit every 6 months for check-ups. However, children at higher risk of tooth decay or with special needs may need more frequent visits as determined by the dentist.
Are baby teeth really that important?
Yes! baby teeth are crucial for proper chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth. Early loss of baby teeth can lead to orthodontic problems and affect your child’s confidence.
What preventive treatments does the ADA recommend for children?
The Australian Dental Association recommends:
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel
- Fissure sealants on permanent back teeth
- Regular professional cleanings
- Personalized oral hygiene instruction
- Dietary advice to prevent tooth decay
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
According to ADA radiation safety guidelines, dental X-rays use minimal radiation (less than a day of natural background radiation). We use digital X-rays which reduce radiation by 80-90% compared to traditional films.
What toothpaste should my child use?
- Under 18 months: Use water only, no toothpaste
- 18 months to 5 years: Use low-fluoride children’s toothpaste (pea-sized amount)
- 6 years and older: Use regular fluoride toothpaste
Look for toothpaste with the ADA Approved symbol.
Note: the actual fluoride dosage may vary from the guideline if the patient is determined to have a high risk of dental decay.
What treatments are covered by the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
Medicare provides eligible children a range of dental benefits under CDBS (up to $1,132).
The dental treatments that could be bulk billed under CDBS include:
- General dental check-up
- Cleaning
- X-rays
- Fillings
- Root canals
- Extractions
Treatments related to orthodontics, cosmetic dental work, or hospital based services are not covered by CDBS.
