Totally Smiles
Totally Smiles
A children’s dentist, also known as a paediatric dentist, specialises in caring for the oral health of children from infancy through to their teenage years. They help ensure children form strong oral and dental habits early in life, which can lead to lifelong benefits. By starting regular check-ups early, a kid’s dentist can provide personalised care and guidance on everything from preventing cavities to managing braces, and even handling dental emergencies specific to children.
Kids dentistry, or paediatric dentistry, is an important investment into the healthy development of your child’s teeth and gums. Regular dental check-ups not only help maintain oral health but also familiarise children with the dental environment, reducing anxiety in the future. While general dentists are trained to assist people of all ages, paediatric dentists are trained to address the unique dental needs of children, offering specialised, age-appropriate treatments and guidance. This early care sets the foundation for good oral hygiene habits and helps to prevent more serious dental issues later in life.
At Totally Smiles, we stand out by offering exceptional dental care that’s accessible and affordable for all Australians. Our nationwide presence means you’re never far from expert care, while our state-of-the-art technology ensures you receive the most advanced treatments in a comfortable setting. We prioritise quality with minimal stress, providing personalised advice and reassurance at every step.

Pediatric Dentist Services
Help your child’s smile shine bright with gentle, expert care at Totally Smiles!
Children should visit the dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings. These routine visits help ensure that their teeth and gums are developing healthily and that any potential issues are caught early.
Dental care for children may be covered through government programs or private health insurance. The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) offers access to basic dental services for children aged 0-17 years. For more details about what is covered, please visit the CDBS page.
Pediatric dentists may cost slightly more than general dentists, but this is because they are specially trained to care for children’s unique dental needs. The specialised care and child-friendly environment can make a big difference in ensuring your child’s comfort and long-term oral health.
The cost of a pediatric dentist visit can vary depending on the treatment needed and your location. We offer flexible payment options to suit different budgets.
Yes, a pediatric dentist is highly recommended for children. They specialise in treating the dental needs of kids and know how to make them feel comfortable during visits. Their expertise helps ensure your child’s teeth develop properly and stay healthy throughout childhood.
Most children see a pediatric dentist until around age 18, though some may transition to a general dentist earlier, depending on their dental needs and comfort level.
