Children's Dentistry in Pimpama, QLD

At Dental In Focus Pimpama we understand little teeth need big care. From a baby’s first tooth to a teenager’s final orthodontic check, our children’s dentist in Pimpama is here to guide every stage with patience and gentle expertise. We make visits fun not frightening so your child learns that the dentist is a friendly helper not a scary stranger.

Why Early Dental Care Matters

Starting dental check-ups by a child’s first birthday sets strong habits for life. Early visits let us monitor jaw growth spot tongue or lip ties and catch decay before it spreads. We can also teach parents simple brushing tips and chat about dummies, thumb-sucking and first foods. Prevention at this age keeps treatment quick comfortable and affordable down the track.

A Kid-Friendly Environment

Children thrive in spaces designed for curiosity. In the surgery, ceiling screens stream favourite cartoons while low-noise electric handpieces keep the soundscape calm. We use kid-sized mouth props, flavoured fluoride gels and tiny x-ray sensors to make each step comfortable.Our children’s dentist in Pimpama speaks in simple language explains every tool and celebrates brave behaviour with stickers and high fives.

Common Treatments for Growing Smiles

  • Fissure sealants — Clear protective coatings that shield molars from food and bacteria. Applying sealants is quick painless and helps reduce cavities by up to 80 percent.
  • Fluoride applications — Professional strength fluoride strengthens enamel and can even reverse early decay spots. We tailor frequency to your child’s risk level diet and water supply.
  • Gentle fillings — If a cavity sneaks through we remove decay with modern air abrasion or slow-speed drills then restore with tooth-coloured material that blends naturally.
  • Orthodontic screening — Around age eight we assess bite alignment crowding and jaw development. Early guidance can minimise or shorten future brace time.

Tips for Home Care

  • Brush twice a day for two minutes — Use a soft kids’ brush and a pea-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste once they can spit. Sing a song or use a timer app to keep track.
  • Make water the hero drink — Sweetened drinks fuel decay. Encourage water between meals and plain milk at snack times.
  • Snack smart — Cheese, yoghurt, veggie sticks and nuts support strong teeth whereas sticky lollies cling and feed germs.
  • Mouthguards are must-haves — Custom guards protect growing smiles during footy cricket, skateboarding and bike riding.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Clean your baby's gums gently with a damp cloth after feedings—even before teeth erupt. Once the first tooth appears, switch to a soft infant toothbrush. Introduce a smear of fluoride toothpaste around age 1, and increase to a pea-sized amount by age 2–3—and always supervise to reduce swallowing. 

0-2 Years: For children under 2, a toothpaste containing 500 parts per million (ppm) fluoride is recommended.

2-6 Years: For children over 2 years, or who demonstrate they can avoid swallowing toothpaste, a 1000ppm fluoride toothpaste is recommended

Above 6 Years: For children and adults over 6 years, a toothpaste containing above 1400ppm fluoride is recommended to prevent tooth decay and to remineralise teeth.

Baby teeth (primary teeth) are vital—they help your child chew, speak clearly, and maintain space for permanent teeth. Early decay or loss can lead to misalignment and more complex issues later. Teeth naturally close up missing gaps, and with some adult teeth not due to appear till 12 years old, not having spaces maintained by the baby teeth will cause crowding.

Furthermore, decayed or infected baby teeth may cause your child pain, or lead to complex dental treatments at a young age, which may worsen dental anxiety, and translate to dental trauma and avoidance later in life. Frequent dental visits are important to detect problems early, and is also an opportunity to educate an individual on preventative techniques. Research has consistently demonstrated that dental avoidance leads to greater dental problems, increased dental anxiety, increased likelihood of dental emergencies or hospital presentations, and increased overall medical costs.
