What Treatments Do We Offer for Children?
Accolade Dental provides a complete range of services designed specifically for children’s dental needs.
Oral Hygiene for Children
Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, they play a key role in development. We provide regular check-ups, gentle cleans, and guidance on healthy habits to build strong foundations for future dental health.
Protective Sealants
Sealants offer extra protection by covering deep grooves in the teeth that are prone to decay. Sealants are a commonly used preventive option for newly erupted molars. Suitability varies between children.
Fillings
If early cavities appear, our team gently removes the decay and restores the tooth with tooth-coloured material. Early care may help reduce the risk of more complex dental issues developing.
Sports Mouthguards
Active kids benefit from custom-fitted mouthguards that protect their teeth, jaw, and soft tissue during sports. Ours are available in a range of colours and designed to help protect teeth during contact sports when worn as directed.
Fastbraces and Clear Aligners
For children with misaligned teeth, we offer early orthodontic options like Fastbraces and Clear Aligners. Our principal dentist has completed additional training in Fastbraces® protocols. Suitability, treatment timeframes and outcomes vary between patients.
Special Needs
We understand that children with special needs require a unique approach when it comes to dental care. Our team of compassionate and experienced dental professionals are here to ensure that your child receives the best possible care in a safe and welcoming environment. Please let us know if your child has special needs when booking the appointment.
When Should Your Child Visit the Dentist?
Dental professionals recommend bringing your child to the dentist by their first birthday or when their first teeth appear. Early visits help prevent future issues and build familiarity with the dental environment, and check-ups are recommended every 6 months. We aim to make early visits positive and supportive, helping children feel more comfortable with dental care over time.
Our Approach to Paediatric Dental Care
Every child is different, and so is the care they need. At Accolade Dental, we work with parents and caregivers to create personalised treatment plans. We take the time to listen, explain each step, and make sure your child feels supported throughout the process.
Our goal is to help children feel confident and comfortable about visiting the dentist. That way, they develop healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Affordable Dental Options for Children
We accept the Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS) and major private health funds to help eligible families manage treatment costs.
