Children’s Dentistry in Capalaba

Capalaba Dental Surgery knows that visiting the dentist can sometimes be a challenging experience for both parents and children. That’s why we focus on providing a warm and welcoming environment where your child can feel comfortable. Our caring staff ensures every visit is stress-free and enjoyable. This helps your child develop a positive, lifelong relationship with the dentist.

Your child’s first dental visit is a significant step toward ensuring their oral health is on the right track. According to the Australian Dental Association, children should have their first dental appointment by the age of 12 months or soon after their first baby teeth erupt. During this initial visit, our dental pediatric will conduct a full medical history and discuss key topics such as:

• Teething milestones
• Alignment and bite concerns
• Proper brushing techniques
• Decay prevention strategies
• Nutritional advice for healthy teeth

Our pediatric dentists emphasise dental education from a young age. They focus on the role of hereditary factors, diet, and environmental influences on oral health. 

The Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) is a government initiative designed to make dental care accessible and affordable for children aged 2 to 17 years. At Capalaba Dental, we proudly bulk-bill eligible CDBS patients. It allows families to take advantage of up to $1000 in benefits over two years.

Covered services under the CDBS include:

• Comprehensive examinations
