Dental Care for Children

At Oakleigh Dental Practice, we care for your child’s growing smile.

We provide a fun and interactive environment for your children to learn about caring for their teeth and gums that make their visits stress-free.

We focus on educating children in good oral hygiene practises and we provide patient/parent education to help your child have a healthy mouth for life. Preventative care options include fluoride treatments, sealants, and orthodontics.

We recommend seeing children for the first time as soon as their first milk tooth is visible, which usually occurs between 6-12 months.

After the first visit, regular visits for healthy mouth reviews should take place every 6 months because children need special care for their smiles. Regular check-ups and hygiene cleanings help protect their milk teeth which are essential for chewing, speech and establishing the path for their permanent smile.
