When should my child first see the dentist and how often after that?

The Australian Dental Association recommends booking your child’s first check-up around their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits let our children’s dentist in Pimpama monitor jaw growth spot any tongue or lip ties and give parents practical tips on brushing dummies and feeding habits. Starting young also helps little ones feel comfortable in the dental chair because the experience is gentle brief and pain-free.

After that most kids do well with a check-up and professional clean every six months. Twice-yearly appointments let us find early decay before it hurts remove stubborn plaque and keep an eye on developing bites.

If your child has braces, uses an inhaler or is prone to cavities we may suggest more frequent reviews to keep things on track. Conversely older kids with excellent oral hygiene and low risk of decay might stretch to nine months but only after your dentist gives the all-clear.
