Dentistry For The Whole Family
Children’s oral health is extremely important, and it’s, unfortunately, a common misconception that children do not need to visit the dentist as regularly as adults. This is not true!
Maintaining good oral health for life
In fact, at Macquarie Dental, we recommend that you begin familiarising your children with dental visits every six months at the age of one year old, or when their first few teeth begin to sprout! You will also help alleviate any fear of the dentist a lot earlier on when it’s easier to target.
Our team also takes an educational approach when catering to children. This is to ensure the whole family, including the little ones, walk out of our practice with a confident understanding of what we’ve informed them on and feel fully informed about any dental issues that we’ve expressed concern about.
Child’s Dental Benefits Schedule
At Macquarie Dental, we also want to ensure all patients utilise their dental benefits to the maximum potential. That’s why we offer the Child’s Dental Benefits Schedule.

Children’s Dentistry FAQs
At Macquarie Dental, we recommend parents begin taking their children to the dentist for appointments as early as the age of 2 years old, or when their first couple of teeth begins to sprout.
If your child naturally does not want to undergo a dental check-up and clean at the time of their appointment, a great alternative is to have them watch you during your appointment.
There is no singular answer to this question as it is dependent on many factors. For example, what you pay at your child’s dental appointment will depend on who your health provider is and what their coverage and benefits include, what was performed during your child’s dental appointment, as well as if they are eligible for Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
No, not all dentists treat children. Fortunately, the dedicated team at Macquarie Dental, conveniently located in Canberra, are passionate about not only treating children and providing optimal dental care but also educating children of all ages on their oral health.
