Kids Dentist in Narre Warren

At Melbourne Dental Vision, we care deeply about setting every child in our community on a path for a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles. With gentle hands and kind smiles, our dedicated Narre Warren dentist creates a fun, positive clinic environment that children love to visit.

Building Strong Bonds and Good Dental Habits

Our Narre Warren dentists recommend bringing your child in to see us by age one. Many parents wonder why we start at such an early age, and there are several reasons:

• Building trust — When kids get to know their dentist early on, it builds rapport and ensures they see dental visits as positive experiences.
• A gentle introduction — Seeing your child before a problem occurs ensures that they develop positive associations with dental care and helps minimize future anxieties.
• Cultivating good habits — Introducing children to proper oral care routines early helps instill positive habits that can benefit them for a lifetime.
• Parent education — Our Narre Warren dental team is very knowledgeable and always happy to answer your questions and provide guidance on helping your child develop healthy oral habits.

The Significance of Baby Teeth

Baby teeth are around for only a short time, but can have a lasting impact on your child’s oral health and development. These tiny teeth are placeholders for adult teeth, helping to guide them into their correct positions as they emerge and ensuring proper alignment later in life.

Our Narre Warren dentists will advise you if they detect a cavity in a baby tooth and provide prompt treatment to protect it until it comes out on its own.

Gentle, Expert Care for Growing Smiles 

Children’s dental needs evolve rapidly, and we are with them at every stage to provide age-appropriate treatment:

• Regular checks and cleans — These visits allow us to monitor oral development and instill in kids the importance of healthy oral habits.
• Tooth fillings — If your child develops a cavity, our dentists will fill it promptly to prevent discomfort and avoid more serious problems.
• Custom mouthguards — A custom-fitted protective mouthguard provides maximum protection for your child's teeth during sports and ensures their precious smile remains intact.
• Emergency treatment — Dental emergencies can be especially scary for kids, and we promise to see your child the same day to start treatment and get them out of pain.

Orthodontic Evaluations to Set Smiles Straight

Our Narre Warren dentists recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation at our Narre Warren clinic by age seven. This early check doesn't mean your child needs braces, but it helps us spot and address potential alignment issues and promotes a smoother journey to a perfect smile in their teen years. 

Affordable Dental Care for Every Child

Melbourne Dental Vision is a preferred provider for BUPA, HCF, NIB and CBHS. This means many of your child’s dental treatments could be gap-free at our clinic.
