Early adoption of healthy dental practices lays the groundwork for lifelong oral health. The risk of developing dental problems later in life can be reduced by instilling good oral hygiene practices in children.

At My Dentist, we love premium dental services for the entire family.

Our specialist dentistry team offers specialised dental services for children under 17. We work closely with a handpicked group of paediatric dental orthodontists for more complex issues.

We also know that going to the dentist for the first time can be scary, so we put a premium on making our young patients and their parents feel at ease and at home during their visit.

So, if you're looking for Adelaide's leading family dental practice, look no further than the team at My Dentist. With over a decade of industry experience, you can count on our dental team to care for your family's oral health.

Our Adelaide Family Dental Services

Child Tooth Cleanings

Like with our adult patients, we offer dental cleanings for children. Every time we clean a child's teeth, we take X-rays to monitor their teeth's growth and provide them with extra tips on maintaining good oral hygiene at home.

The Use of Fluoride

During your child's visit, we will apply fluoride to help strengthen their teeth.

Sealants

As your child's permanent teeth erupt, we employ sealants as a painless method to guard against cavities.

Referrals to specialists

To help manage your child's oral health, we have a team of specialists, including paediatric dentists and orthodontists. To provide comprehensive care for your child, we have assembled a team of specialists that includes paediatric dentists and orthodontists.

Tips for Your Child's First Dentist Trip

Choose the correct appointment time.

Avoid making your child's dental appointment around nap or meal times, as they could be more irritable. Making your child's first dental appointment when they are typically well-rested and cooperative will help in a successful meeting.

Lead by example

Children are little sponges, and it's often a case of 'monkey see, monkey do', so if they see you practising good oral hygiene habits at home, they're more likely to adopt the same patterns. Allow children to observe you brushing and flossing your teeth and emphasise that going to the dentist is a positive activity.

Role Play

Little children love to learn through play, and role-playing can be a great way to help your child become familiar with what to expect at their dental visit. Above all, make it fun for them!

Bring a comfort toy

You want to ensure your child feels safe and comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. We always encourage our little patients to bring comfort toys for comfort and security during their appointments.
