Your child’s initial visit to our Canberra dental clinic is designed to be friendly, educational, and positive:
We take extra time with first visits because we know that positive early experiences set the foundation for a lifetime of good dental health.
It’s essential to start dental care early. At what age should a child go to the dentist?
According to paediatric dental guidelines, children should have their first dental check-up by the age of 1, or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early visits help establish a healthy oral care routine and allow us to monitor the development of their teeth.
For children aged 7 and above, it’s important to maintain regular visits for cleanings, cavity prevention, and orthodontic assessments. Can a 7-year-old go to a dentist? Absolutely! In fact, it’s a critical age for monitoring growth and identifying any potential dental issues.
At My Dentist Canberra, we provide comprehensive dental care specifically designed for children:
Many children feel nervous about visiting the dentist, which is completely normal. At My Dentist Canberra, our kids dentists are specially trained in techniques to help ease dental anxiety:
Our Canberra dental team works carefully to build trust with each child, ensuring they feel safe and respected throughout their visit.
Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, plaque build-up, and gum disease. We also offer fluoride treatments to strengthen teeth and dental sealants to protect against decay in those hard-to-reach areas.
Does your child need a mouthguard? For children who participate in sports, mouthguards are crucial to protect their teeth from injury. We custom-make mouthguards for the best fit and protection.

Your child’s oral health begins at home. Our Canberra kids dentists recommend:
We’re always happy to demonstrate proper techniques and answer any questions during your visits to My Dentist Canberra.
As a parent, you naturally have questions about your child’s dental health. Let’s address some of the most frequently asked questions:
You can begin cleaning your baby’s gums even before teeth come in, and start brushing their teeth as soon as the first tooth appears—usually around 6 months.
Signs include sensitivity to hot or cold foods, visible spots or pits on the teeth, and complaints of tooth pain. Regular check-ups help catch cavities early.
Children typically require fillings between the ages of 4 and 7, depending on when decay occurs. Early prevention through proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups can delay or even avoid fillings.
By the age of 7 or 8, children should have the motor skills needed to brush and floss effectively, but supervision is still recommended until around age 10
Use a children toothpaste as it contains half the amount of fluoride compare to adult toothpaste (500ppm). Ask us for a recommended brand of toothpaste.
Children can start flossing when two teeth begin to touch. Typically, this happens between the ages of 2 and 6.
Kids should visit the dentist every six months for cleanings and check-ups to ensure any issues are caught early.
At My Dentist Canberra, we pride ourselves on providing gentle, child-centered dental care that ensures your little ones have a positive experience every time they visit. Whether it’s their first check-up or ongoing care, we’re here to support their dental journey.
