At Totally Teeth, our paediatric dentists are dedicated to promoting good oral hygiene from an early age. We make dental visits a positive and enjoyable experience for children. With modern dentistry advancements, there's no reason for kids to fear the dentist. During each visit, we carefully assess jaw development, bite alignment, and check for any cavities in your child's teeth.
Early prevention will help maintain your child’s teeth throughout their lives. We do preventive dental treatments such as Fissure Sealants for back molars or teeth with deep grooves to reduce the chances of getting cavities on your child's teeth.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a Medicare-funded program that commenced on the 1st of January 2014 and provides access to benefits for basic dental services to around 3.4 million children aged 2-17 years. Totally Teeth is a Bulk Billing clinic for Medicare's CDBS scheme.
The total benefit entitlement is capped at $1,052 per child over a two calendar year period.
The CDBS has a means test, which requires receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A (FTB-A) or a relevant Australian Government payment. Please visit the Department of Health website for more information on the CDBS.

It’s recommended that children see a paediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early dental visits help monitor tooth development and prevent potential issues like tooth decay.
Paediatric dentists undergo additional training focused on child psychology, growth, and development. They are experts in treating children’s dental issues and creating a welcoming environment that helps kids feel comfortable during dental visits.
Paediatric dentists treat a variety of dental issues in children, such as tooth decay, cavities, misaligned teeth, thumb-sucking habits, and gum diseases. They also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene and preventive care.
