Having managed children of our own, we understand kids and we pride ourselves on providing expert dental care to kids of all ages, from one-year-old infants to young adults. At Henry Street Dental Care, we strive to create a pleasant experience for our little patients so that they come to us and leave us with a smile.
We recommend that children start seeing the dentist when their first teeth appear or by the time they turn one year old.
You are welcome to bring them in earlier if you have any questions or concerns.
Young children generally only need to see the dentist every 6-12 months. We will talk to you about this at your appointment.
It is vital that children get used to coming in to see the dentist while they are young. This will help them form good associations and avoid any fear of dentists.
While children are growing, we monitor their facial growth and dental development closely. This will help avoid crowding of teeth and jaw issues. We also assess and address factors such as large tonsils, sleep apnoea or snoring, mouth breathing, and thumb sucking.
Bring your children to see us so that we can diagnose any problems early and your child can develop a happy, healthy, trusting relationship with our children’s dentist in Highett.
We believe in patient and parent education and will equip both with the knowledge required to maintain the child’s healthy dental development into adulthood.
At Henry Street Dental Care, we offer a wide range of dental treatments for children in Highett.
We support the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and we bulk bill all eligible children.
Note that the CDBS scheme does not cover cosmetic dental work or orthodontics.
