Children’s Dentistry

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule is an Australian Government initiative that offers up to $1,095 in benefits over two consecutive calendar years, covering a wide range of basic dental services (excluding specialized treatments like orthodontics or those performed under general anesthesia).

No registration is required for the CDBS, and Services Australia will typically inform you if you’re eligible.

To qualify for the CDBS, a child or adolescent must:

• Be 17 years old or younger, and
• Belong to a family that receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or a related government benefit.

These early visits are important for monitoring your child’s oral health, and they also allow us to let your child experience the sights and sounds of the dental clinic. We are always careful to let your child dictate the pace of their treatment, never doing anything that makes them fearful or uncomfortable. We never want them to feel anxious while they are here.

One of our goals is to protect the health of the primary teeth because of their importance to overall dental development. We want to avoid a baby tooth being lost too soon because of tooth decay. With preventive children’s dentistry treatments at our Modbury, SA kids dental clinic, we can do our part.

We may recommend preventive treatments such as fluoride and sealants. Fluoride works by helping to strengthen the outer layer of the tooth, helping to resist the acids that form in the mouth and cause tooth cavities. Dental sealants are applied to the deep grooves of the back molars, to help prevent bacteria from forming there. Both treatments are non-invasive.

Our children’s dentistry services take care of children’s oral health from infancy through the teen years. Set the stage today for happy smiles tomorrow by ensuring your children see the dentist regularly. We also have kids emergency dentists in case of an urgent situation. We invite you to call Plaza Dental Care on (08) 8264 7333 to schedule a booking.

Our children’s dental services include a range of treatments to ensure your child’s oral health. We emphasise preventive care and early intervention to protect developing teeth and avoid more complex problems later on. With regular dental check-ups starting around age 2, our kids dentist can monitor growth, apply protective treatments like sealants and fluoride, and catch any issues right away. We also provide gentle cleanings, cavity fillings, treatment for tooth injuries, extractions if needed, and more. Our goal is to make every child feel comfortable and provide the care they need for healthy smiles now and in the future.
