Jetty Road Dental Clinic is very child-friendly, and we treat all our little patients as gently as if they were family.
Ideally, we like to see children for their first visit soon after their baby teeth start erupting, and children need to see a dentist regularly by age two or three.
We realise that your child might feel a little apprehensive when first seeing a dentist and do everything possible to create a safe, warm and welcoming dental home where we can help them grow up with a healthy, confident smile.

What to Expect During Your Exam
01 The Initial Visit
During this visit, we will want to review their medical history and any dental history to gain a clear picture of their overall health and ensure that any treatments we recommend are safe and appropriate. We will need to look inside your child’s mouth gently, and a very young child can remain sitting on their parent’s lap. Older children will often enjoy a ride in the dental chair.
02 Custom Preventive Dental Care Plan
Once we have all this information, we can review their dental health with you. We also use this information to devise your child’s custom preventive dental care plan. The plan will show how frequently we suggest they should visit us for regular checkups and cleans. If your child requires any dental treatment, we will explain each procedure carefully, and we always welcome questions.
Dental Education and Advice
Dental education is an important part of our practice, and we can work with first-time parents, showing you how to clean your child’s brand-new teeth effectively and gently. In addition, we can discuss which toothbrush and toothpaste to use and show you how to floss between your child’s teeth as more emerge and start to contact each other.
If your child is a little older when they first visit us, we can work with them directly. Our dental team are experienced in explaining why good dental care is important, using age-appropriate terms children can easily understand.
