Ever wondered when your child should see the dentist for the first time?
The Australian Dental Association recommends a first visit around 12 months of age, just to help them get familiar with the chair and the team.
At Southport Park Family Dental, we've set things up to make visits easier, with noise-cancelling headphones and Netflix during appointments.
If you're eligible, the Child Dental Benefits Schedule may cover basic dental services for children aged 2 to 17, and we can bulk bill under this scheme.
Starting early helps build a positive relationship with dental visits that can last a lifetime.

*As with all dental treatments, outcomes vary. We'll discuss risks, alternatives, and suitability with you at your consultation. A second opinion from another dentist may be recommended before starting treatment.
