Welcome parents and caregivers!
Dental disease is Australia's most common chronic childhood illness. Poor oral health can lead to painful infections, nutritional problems and lifelong health complications. The good news is dental disease is preventable and you can play a vital role in ensuring your child has the healthy smile they deserve.
You can help by being a good role model for children in your care by brushing, flossing and visiting your dentist regularly. Your children will learn how to take care of their own teeth by following your example, so make brushing time a family affair!
Early prevention care promotes a lifetime of good dental health. Our focus is on providing a pleasant atmosphere that makes each visit as relaxed and fun as possible for your child, and providing information that helps you make healthy choices.
We hope you will find the following information on caring for children's teeth from infancy through to adolescence interesting and helpful.
