It’s all about building strong relationships with our patients, no matter what age they are, and working with them to achieve great dental and oral health outcomes.

The experienced child and family dentists at our Geelong clinic know it is invaluable for youngsters to learn good oral hygiene from an early age. We provide advice to kids and parents on correct brushing techniques to help keep tooth decay at bay. We also urge parents to ensure their children eat a healthy diet that’s low in sugar. Children should brush their teeth at least twice daily and floss once a day, habits we hope will continue throughout their lives.

We recommend children see a family dentist by the age of two. We make visits fun and relaxing for youngsters, stripping away the fear factor of years gone by.

Organising regular visits to the dentist allows us to check for any issues and treat them before they become costly problems. Because we watch our patients’ teeth develop over the years, we can also make orthodontic referrals if necessary.

It’s worth noting that visiting a children’s dentist at our Geelong clinic may be fully or partially covered under the federal Child Dental Benefits Schedule. The schedule provides up to $1000 for eligible children over two consecutive years for basic dental services. Our friendly reception team can help parents check whether their children qualify for this Medicare funding.
