Child Dentistry
A Healthy Smile Starts in Childhood
At Diamond Dental Centre, we are committed to nurturing children’s smiles and promoting lifelong oral health. A healthy smile boosts confidence, and we believe in early education to help kids develop good dental habits from the start.
We offer comprehensive dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, including:
• Six-monthly check-ups
• Professional cleans with optional fluoride treatment
• Dietary and oral hygiene advice
• Preventative treatments like fissure sealants
Bulk-Billed Dental Care for Eligible Children
Under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) by Medicare Australia, eligible children aged 2 to 17 years can receive bulk-billed dental services up to $1,000 over two consecutive years. This covers basic dental care but excludes orthodontic or cosmetic treatments.

Healthy Teeth: Essential Tips for Kids
Encourage Healthy Eating – Limit sugary foods and snacks, as frequent sugar intake increases the risk of tooth decay.
Choose Healthy Drinks – Encourage kids to drink plain tap water and avoid soft drinks, fruit juices, and sports drinks, which are high in sugar.
Brush Twice Daily – Teach children to brush at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Kids under eight years old often need assistance to ensure proper brushing.
Floss Every Day – Flossing helps remove plaque and food between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach. Parents should assist young children in building a daily flossing habit.
Visit the Dentist Regularly – Children should see a dentist every six months starting at age three. Regular visits help reinforce good dental habits and reduce the need for fillings in the future.
Wear a Mouthguard for Sports – Protect children’s teeth with a custom-fitted mouthguard when playing sports. Available in different colours, a mouthguard helps prevent serious dental injuries.
Give your child the best start to a lifetime of healthy smiles with gentle and professional dental care at Diamond Dental Centre. Schedule an appointment today!
