Children's Dentistry

At North Shore Dental Practice, we love creating healthy smiles for the little ones in Gordon and the surrounding areas of Killara, Lindfield, Pymble and Turramurra. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional dental care for children in a fun, friendly and comfortable environment.

Our Child-Friendly Approach

At North Shore Dental Practice, we understand that visiting the dentist can be daunting for children. That's why we've created a welcoming, child-friendly environment:

  • Kid-friendly waiting area with toys and books
  • Gentle, patient approach from our experienced team
  • Use of child-friendly language to explain procedures
  • Positive reinforcement and reward system for brave little patients

Your Child's First Visit

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit around age two or three. They can comfortably sit in the dental chair at this age, and we can familiarise your child with the dental environment. This allows us to provide preventive care from the start.

During the first visit, we'll gently examine your child's teeth and gums, discuss proper oral hygiene techniques and answer any questions you may have about your child's dental development.

We offer comprehensive dental services at our Gordon dental clinic that are tailored specifically for children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Gordon dentists recommend bringing your little one in for their first dental visit around the age of two to three years old. This might seem early, but it's crucial to establishing good oral health habits that will last a lifetime.
 
By this age, most children have all their baby teeth, making it an ideal time for us to check their development and ensure everything is progressing as it should. These early visits also help your child become familiar with the dental environment, reducing anxiety in future appointments.

What to Expect at Your Child's First Dental Visit

During this initial visit, we'll gently examine your child's teeth and gums, looking for any signs of decay or potential issues. We'll also chat with you about proper oral hygiene techniques tailored for young children and offer advice on diet and habits that promote healthy teeth.
 
Don't worry if your child is a bit nervous — our team is experienced in making dental visits fun and comfortable for our youngest patients! 
 
Remember, prevention is always better than cure. By starting early, we can work together to give your child the best possible start in maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
