When Should My Child Have Their First Dental Appointment?
The Australian Dental Association recommends that 6 months after a child’s first set of teeth come through their gums, they should see a dentist for their first check. Getting children familiar with a family-friendly dentist like YV Dental helps them become comfortable with dental visits and understand the importance of their oral hygiene.
Yarrabilba’s Family-Friendly Children’s Dental Clinic
From the first visit, children who come to our dental clinic leave with positive experiences and an understanding of properly caring for their teeth. Our team of compassionate dentists love their young patients and take the time to teach children healthy dental habits from the outset. Early care and education are some of the best ways for children to grow with optimal oral health.
Our Child Dentistry Services
Each visit, we give children age-appropriate education surrounding the importance of their dental health and how to brush and floss effectively at home. We offer a range of child dentistry services, including:
Routine Cleaning & Checkups
Thorough checkups and cleanings to remove plaque and tartar build-up.
Fillings
Restoration of decayed or damaged teeth with materials that match the natural tooth colour.
Dental Sealants
Applying a protective coating on back teeth chewing surfaces prevents decay.
Fluoride Treatments
Use of fluoride to strengthen the enamel and ward off cavities.

Space Maintainers
Devices to maintain the space for permanent teeth when a child loses a baby tooth prematurely.
Child Dentistry With Medicare
LWe offer bulk billing of children’s dental care if they are eligible under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Children may have partial or complete coverage for basic dental services if their parents or caregivers receive particular Medicare payments.
To possibly qualify, the child must be all of the following:
- 0 to 17 years old for at least one day in the current year
- Eligible for Medicare
- Getting a payment from Medicare at least once a year or having a parent, carer, or guardian get a payment from Medicare at least once a year.
