A first dental visit can be arranged as soon as a child's first teeth come through. Early visits help a child become familiar with a dental practice and with seeing a dentist.

The team can explain each step before treatment starts. Comfort measures can be discussed for your child. Individual responses to dental visits vary.
Dapto children love our brand of gentle, compassionate and caring dentistry, and it shows in the happy smiling faces of our youngest visitors after they’ve been treated by our child friendly dentist.
The team here at Dapto Dentists know just how impressionable a visit to the dentist can be for a young child, so whether you’re visiting us for your child’s first dental examination or you’re looking for a children’s dentist to help with an orthodontic check, we ensure your child is both comfortable and relaxed before and during treatment. By combining education and fun, we make visiting us a happy occasion.
We can claim eligible children's dental services through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
