Healthy dental habits begin early and as a parent, you play a key role. Cheltenham Dental Care supports families with gentle paediatric dentistry and access to CDBS (Child Dental Benefits Schedule).
Here’s what every parent should know.
1. When Should Children Start Visiting the Dentist?
We recommend starting from around age 3, unless you notice earlier concerns.
2. What Happens During a Kids’ Check-Up?
We focus on:
- Tooth development
- Early decay prevention
- Oral hygiene education
- Gentle cleaning
- Diet advice
Our goal is to make the experience fun and positive.
3. The Importance of Preventive Care
Fluoride, sealants, and early detection help protect young teeth for years.
4. Understanding CDBS
Eligible families can claim up to $1,095 over 2 years for services such as:
- Exams
- X-rays
- Cleanings
- Fillings
- Tooth extractions (if necessary)
- Fissure sealants
We bulk bill eligible CDBS patients.
5. Mouthguards for Active Kids
Sports-related dental injuries are common, prevent them with a custom-fit guard.
