CHILDREN’S DENTIST IN FAIRFIELD NSW

Perfect Dental is a fun and friendly children’s dentist in Fairfield NSW. Our kid’s dentists are highly experienced and we love making your kids smile.

As soon as your child’s first baby teeth appear or they turn 1 year old, it’s time for your child to visit our children’s dental clinic for their first visit.

We know there can be nervousness or fears and we work hard to make it a comfortable experience.

Your child will enjoy “roaring like a lion”, “going for a ride in the dental chair” and taking home a “prize” when they see our kid’s dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What age should my child see a dentist?

As a rule of thumb, it’s time for a dental visit when your baby’s first tooth becomes visible or they reach 12 months old – whichever comes first. If you notice anything you think is out of the ordinary before this time, it’s better to book an appointment straight away.

Children’s early experiences to the dentist can have a big impact on their lives. At Perfect Dental, we offer the best in children’s dentistry in Fairfield NSW and we love making your kids smile.

Should I accompany my child to the dentist?

Young children may feel more calm when they sit on their parent’s lap during their check-up, but as they get older we encourage parents to allow their children to go to dentist unaccompanied. We believe that this helps to foster independence and helps kids to feel more comfortable with dental care.

What are fissure sealants?

We may recommend fissure sealants as a preventive treatment if we notice deep grooves on your child’s teeth, where food and bacteria can easily get trapped and may be difficult to remove. Our dentists can apply fissure sealants to fill in these grooves and lower your child’s risk of dental problems. This treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any injections.

Do baby teeth need to be looked after?

Just because primary teeth (baby teeth) are going to fall out eventually, that doesn’t mean they can be ignored! If any of these teeth experience decay or become infected, this may affect the development of the permanent tooth below, as well as causing pain and discomfort. Brushing their baby teeth every day will also get children used to taking care of their permanent teeth as they grow up.

How often should children visit the dentist?

We recommend that children visit the dentist every 6 months. This gives our paediatric dentists the chance to monitor their oral health and orthodontic development and to respond faster if we spot signs of a problem. However, the ideal time interval for appointments always depends on your child’s individual needs.

Are dental X-rays safe for children?

Yes. Modern dental X-rays are safe for children and adults as the amount of radiation involved is extremely low, and is equivalent to the sort of exposure you would receive on a 1-2 hour flight.

Is free parking available?

Yes. Fairfield Forum has 750 car spaces located around the centre. For the convenience of our patients, the Centre car park is free for the first 2 hours.

There are also disabled car spaces which are available close to all entrances.
