Ensuring Bright Smiles for Little Ones

At Weston Creek Dental Care, we understand that children require special care and attention when it comes to their dental health. That's why we offer various services specifically tailored to help children develop healthy dental habits and maintain strong and healthy smiles.

We want children and their families to have a positive experience at Weston Creek Dental. A great dental experience will help instil good dental habits in their more vital stage of development. Our experienced clinicians have the skills to deliver attentive care to your child. From dental trauma cases to check-ups and clean appointments. 

Why is it important?

Children's visit to a dentist is vital for early detection and prevention of dental issues. It also helps in establishing good oral habits and preventing tooth decay. In 2017–18 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found that around 1 in 3 children aged 5–14 had experienced tooth decay in their baby teeth.


The best time to bring your child in for an appointment is at 12 months of age or when their first tooth comes through. The first few appointments are essential in normalising the environment and making it a fun experience.

Children’s Dentistry with a Caring Touch

Our specialised service is designed to make dental visits enjoyable and stress-free. From the moment your child steps into our practice, we prioritise creating a welcoming environment. We understand the unique needs of young children and we tailor our services to ensure their comfort and well-being.


Introducing children to the dentist early on at regular 6-monthly appointments helps minimise dental trauma. It also ensures that their teeth are developing healthily and in the correct alignment. The earlier you can bring your child to the dentist, the more comfortable they will be in the chair for many years to come.


Dental Check-ups and Cleaning Adventures

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are fundamental to maintaining a healthy smile. At Weston Creek Dental, we turn these routine visits into positive adventures for children. By making these experiences enjoyable, we aim to instil good oral habits from an early age.


Fissure Sealants for Added Protection

A fissure sealant is a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. It is a preventive dental treatment designed to seal the deep grooves and pits (fissures) on these surfaces, which are often challenging to clean thoroughly. 


Fissure sealants provide an additional layer of protection against cavities, offering peace of mind for parents. Our team applies these sealants with precision, ensuring that your child's teeth remain strong and healthy.


X-rays Tailored to Individual Needs

We carefully plan X-rays for children. We take into account various factors like age, X-ray history, cooperation, and diagnostic needs. We prioritise minimising radiation exposure while ensuring thorough and accurate diagnostic imaging. X-rays are a valuable tool in identifying potential dental issues early, allowing for proactive and effective treatment planning.


Specialist Orthodontist

The early detection of orthodontic problems helps us determine if intervention is needed at a young age to circumvent more serious orthodontic problems later on. From correcting misalignments to straightening crooked teeth, our expert team specialises in crafting radiant smiles.

General Children's Dentistry

General children's dentistry is a specialised branch of dental care dedicated to the oral health and well-being of children from infancy through adolescence.

From regular check-ups and cleanings to preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride applications, we tailor our services to meet the unique dental needs of children at different stages of development. We prioritise education and encourage open communication with both parents and young patients to empower them to take an active role in their oral health.
