Our collaborative approach brings together different areas of clinical knowledge to support children’s oral health, dental development and individual treatment needs, including those of children with additional behavioural, developmental or sensory considerations.

We aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment where children and their families feel comfortable, informed and involved in their care.

Paediatric Dental Services

What is a Paediatric Dentist?

Paediatric dentists are specialists in the field of dentistry, focused on the oral health and the unique needs of children from birth through to adolescence. They have years of additional training in managing dental trauma, behavioural conditions, complicated dental conditions and oral diseases.

Paediatric dentists also work with general dentists, other dental specialists and integrated health professionals to ensure that the children they treat achieve optimal health outcomes for the rest of their lives.

We are excited to announce our participation in the Child Dental Benefits Scheme, which provides eligible children aged 2-17 with up to $1,158 over 2 years for essential general dental services. Our practice does not bulk bill so there will often be a gap between the service fee and the benefit.


Eligibility for the scheme is determined each calendar year and can be confirmed by contacting Medicare on 132 011 or accessing your Medicare online account through myGov.
If you would like to book a consultation with our paediatric dentist, or would like more information, call us today on (07) 4639 4229.
