Kids Dentist in Brisbane – From Infants to Teens

At Aperture Dental we want to make sure that your child’s experience is a positive one. With high-quality dental care, patience and comfort at the forefront of our minds, we are confident your little one will be looking forward to seeing our kids dentist for their yearly checkup! 

Proactive Approach

Our priority is to treat problems less and educate more, leading to a proactive approach for a healthy smile. From the first tooth pushing through it is important to set our youngest patients up for the best mouth health as possible. 

Dedicated Children’s Dentist

Our experienced kids dentists, at our Sunnybank Hills Clinic, create a child friendly environment for every dental appointment. Confident kids who take charge of their oral health create healthy smiles for life. 

We here at Aperture Dental, believe that having the right children’s dentist from a young age has a positive impact on your child’s dental health.

Consistency is Key

Regular checkups make the dental experience a known routine for your child. It also helps to identify potential problems through monitoring and a record of x-rays. 

Assisted Funding

With the help of the government funding under the Child Dental Benefit Schedule we may even be able to bulk bill your child’s appointment. Maintaining good oral hygiene has never been easier with the help of our highly qualified kids dentists.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A SPECIALIST DENTIST FOR KIDS?

Treating adolescent oral health and children’s dentistry is so crucial to set someone up for long-term dental health. How a child treats their teeth in the first few years can change the way their permanent teeth develop. 

Without the right dental care and education for children, they may show early signs of decay. Without regular check ups, you may miss potential problems that will cause issues over time with the crowding of their adult teeth.

A kid-friendly dentist will help your child or teen feel comfortable and confident in both attending regular dental appointments, and in caring for their teeth everyday at home.

OUR DENTISTS ADVICE FOR KIDS

Regular Check-Up

We make their dental check-up fun, so we can maintain their great teeth health! We want your children to look forward to their dental visit so we can positively reinforce good behaviour.

Regular Brushing

It is recommended that children should brush their teeth morning and at night just before bed. Brush for 2 minutes inside, outside, and bite side.

Eat Sweets As Treats

Eating lots of sweet foods throughout the day can make a child’s teeth decay. A good time to enjoy sweet things is just after dinner but before brushing your teeth.

🔼 Aperture Dental’s Advice for Kids

Children’s Dentist Brisbane: FAQs

When will my baby start erupting teeth?
  • For most babies, their first teeth start erupting between 6 to 10 months. Children get teeth at different times and arrive in any order. All 20 baby teeth will usually arrive by the time your child is 3 years old. The 32 adult teeth then replace baby teeth between the ages of 6 and 20 years.

When should I start cleaning my baby's teeth and how should I do it?
  • Dental care for baby teeth can start before your baby's first tooth appears. Once your baby is about 3 months old, you can gently wipe your baby’s gums using a damp, clean face washer or gauze twice a day. This helps your baby get ready for brushing when the first tooth appears.
  • As soon as the first tooth appears, clean teeth using a soft infant toothbrush designed for children under 2 years. If your baby doesn’t like the toothbrush in their mouth, you can keep using a clean, damp face washer or gauze to wipe the front and back of each tooth.
How to choose the right brush and toothpaste for my child?
  • Choose a toothbrush that is designed for children. It should have a small head and soft bristles.
  • Choosing the right toothpaste:
    • For children 0–18 months of age – use only water, no toothpaste
    • From 18 months until the child turns 6 years old – use a small pea-sized amount of low fluoride children’s toothpaste (check on the pack)
    • From 6 years of age – use a pea-sized amount of standard fluoride toothpaste.
When can my child brush their own teeth?
  • You will need to help your child brush their teeth until they have the ability to do it well enough by themselves (usually between 6 to 9 years old). This includes having the dexterity to wield a toothbrush, the ability to spit out all toothpaste into the sink, and making it your child's responsibility to look after their teeth.
How old should a child be for their first visit to the dentist?
  • It is recommended that children have an oral health when their first tooth comes through, or by their first birthday. This can be done at your family dentist.  Older children should continue to have regular yearly check-ups.
Do I have to pay for my child's dental check-up? (CBDS, Medicare)

How can I help my child with their first dental visit?

To lessen the anxiety of your child in dental treatment, make dental check–ups a normal part of our lives. You could bring them along to see you have a regular check up first, and talk to them about how they too need to keep their teeth clean for good oral health, just like you do.

Maintain a positive attitude and encourage “brave behaviour”. Dress them comfortably on the day, and bring a comfort object if needed (such as a favourite toy or blanket) 😊

What Our Patients Say About Us

I have taken my 6 year old boy to Aperture Dental several times to do his dental checks and fillings. The staff there have been very friendly and professional during our every visit. Both the doctor and the assistant were very patient with my kid and showed extra care trying to calm him down during the procedures. Good for families! The clinic is very clean and many facilities look very new. Will definitely take my kid to visit them again!!
Kai Z.

The staff members are very welcoming and respectful. Very professional and hygienic and they clearly explain what they’re doing every appointment. The environment is lovely and suitable for the whole family. My family and I have been coming here for many years and we’ve never had problems and we look forward to our appointments. They always try their best to make availability for urgent appointments and are very flexible and considerate of school and work times.
