Children’s Dentistry
We offer gap-free dentistry on preventative dental treatments for children aged 0 - 16 years.
Preventative dental treatments include:
Check-ups and cleans
X-rays
Oral hygiene
Fluoride treatment
Fissure seals
A 6-monthly check-up and clean for your child is $100.
- There may be a difference to pay after your health fund claim has been processed when the health fund benefit does not equate to $100.
Dental treatments which are not preventative will be charged at our standard fees.
The 1st visit
The optimal age for your child’s first visit to our practice can be anywhere from 1 year – 3 years of age and is really dependent on the child. Younger siblings may be more confident and outgoing and happy to have a ride in the chair and have their teeth checked from 12 months of age. The oldest child or first child/only child may prefer to come in from just after 2 years of age. We look after every child's dental needs here at Enlighten Dental and know they will love coming to the dentist every time. It's our mission to prevent dental disease from an early age and create great experiences for children and adults alike. We are actively changing the face of Dentistry!

We have ceiling-mounted smart TVs where your child can watch their favourite show or listen to music.

What to look for? Signs that your child may be suffering from an oral disease: weak/crumbling teeth, spontaneous dental pain, white/orange/brown/black areas on the teeth, sleep/breathing problems (e.g. snoring and teeth chattering/grinding, large tonsils), crowded/misshapen teeth, swollen face, abscess/pimple on the gum, ulcers/sores in the mouth or on the lips/face/hands.

Fissure sealants are a treatment used to seal the deep fissures of "groovy" teeth using a flowable resin. When applied at the right stage the seal protects the tooth from developing decay within the deep grooves of the tooth.
Professional fluoride treatment - especially for those vulnerable newly emerging adult molar teeth. These molars erupt through the gums around the ages of 6 and 12. It is highly protective to place a coating of Fluoride varnish over these teeth to strengthen the biting surfaces with deep grooves that are prone to tooth decay.
Tooth mousse protection - we use GC Tooth Mousse where indicated to strengthen and protect children's teeth. It's a dental creme that contains CPP-ACP, a milk protein that delivers bio-available calcium and phosphate to the teeth and comes in several lovely flavours.
