Children's Dentistry - Grange Kids Dentist

When should I bring my kids to the dentist?

We recommend that you bring your child to the dentist for their first visit at the age of 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting into their mouth.

Can you imagine a world where kids grow up without fearing the dentist? A world where kids don’t suffer from tooth decay? We can!

At Method Dental you’ll bring your kids into a fun, relaxed dental environment where they can learn that they are in a safe place where health is a priority. We can catch problems like tooth decay or developmental issues at the earliest possible stages. And, you’ll receive the best preventative advice, so that together, we can help give your child the best chance to avoid the need to ever have dental treatment.

OUR APPROACH

We use a strategy where we tell kids what we are going to do, then show them what we are going to do and then we actually do it! It's called "Tell-Show-Do" and we find that most children respond really well to being involved in their care. By engaging their attention and allowing them to feel in control, your child will feel more at ease and hopefully, learn to trust the dentist.

We also have a TV on the ceiling so they can watch their favourite show, we have special flavours of our preventative polishing paste and we reward them with a little bag of goodies at the end of the appointment!

Method Dental proudly bulk-bills the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS). The CDBS is a Medicare program that provides financial support for dental treatment on eligible children who are aged between 2 and 17. To qualify, you (the parent, carer, guardian) or the child must receive certain payments for at least part of the calendar year from the government e.g Family Tax Benefit A. The CDBS includes $1000 over 2 calendar years, and can be used on general dental services, including preventative and restorative services.

Please contact Method Dental on (07) 3188 5183 and have your Medicare card number ready so we can help you to check whether your child is eligible! Find out more about the CDBS on the Medicare website: Medicare CDBS
