The Australian Dental Association recommends that children under 18 years of age should have their dental check-up every 6-12 months. To help parents give their kids a lifetime of healthy smiles and good oral habits, the government offers the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which offers access to $1,000 worth of dental services over two years for each eligible child.
This means that your child’s dental appointments could cost you NOTHING.
Plus, it’s not just standard check-ups that the CDBS will cover; it can be used on a range of different services, including x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals, and extractions.
At Yarrabilba Dental, we love our younger patients and they love us! With our fun, friendly, and energetic staff, our young patients have no reason to fear the dentist and actually find it an enjoyable experience.
Establishing healthy dental habits for kids early on in their lives is a sure-fire way to improve oral health, and support the proper development of teeth as your child ages. At Yarrabilba Dental we know that children are often apprehensive and nervous about seeing the dentist.
We’re committed to making their experience one they will remember for all of the right reasons. Our caring and gentle staff will ensure your child enjoys the experience and will have them looking forward to their next visit.
From orthodontic to general, we are able to offer a comfortable and positive dentistry experience to children in Yarrabilba.
Yarrabilba Dental values the opportunity to treat the children. We advise parents to introduce their child/children to professional dental care from the age of three.
This may include watching a parent have their teeth cleaned or having the child’s teeth cleaned counted and polished with a soft brush. It also allows us the opportunity to visually inspect the child’s gums and teeth for any obvious issues.
We use this time to answer any questions you or your child may have and to assess the overall growth and development of their teeth. We’ll also educate both the parent and child on oral hygiene and brushing techniques.
We endeavour to make every experience a positive one with compassion, and understanding being the centre of every appointment. This process of familiarisation allows your child to grow with little or no anxiety towards the benefits of preventative dental care.
Putting children at ease is about more than just the physical environment. We love the little people – that’s our forte, and we hope to build the experience for them. The fun factor is really important to us, we make sure that the kids see how things work without fear or anxiety.

Fluoride is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay. Many Australian water supplies contain optimal levels of fluoride, but your dentist may recommend additional fluoride treatments based on individual needs.
Parents should begin cleaning their baby’s gums with a soft cloth even before teeth emerge. Once teeth appear, brushing with a soft toothbrush and a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste is recommended.
Yes, baby teeth are crucial for proper speech development, eating habits, and guiding permanent teeth into place. Early loss of baby teeth due to decay can lead to dental issues.
