Discover fun and stress-free dental care for kids!

At The Dental Spa Bondi, our caring team is dedicated to making your little ones (and big kids too) feel special, safe and secure when they visit us for a dental appointment. We understand better than most how scary it can be for kids to visit the dentist, and that’s why we endeavour to make each and every experience in the dental chair calm and fun, whether it’s for a regular check up, a small filling or a consultation for orthodontics.

Why is dental care for children so important?

Oral health is crucial to your holistic health and wellbeing — having lovely, strong and healthy teeth boosts your quality of life, your social interactions and self-esteem. If your oral health is compromised, your quality of life can be dramatically affected with discomfort, pain and sometimes embarrassment about how your teeth look when you smile.

At The Dental Spa Bondi, we know that misaligned or crowded teeth in children can affect their ability to speak, eat and even sleep properly. The majority of dental issues and diseases are easily preventable with early preventative strategies such as the right care, parental supervision while establishing strong oral hygiene practices, the correct use of fluorides and a healthy diet.

Did you know?

Australian Dental Association’s (ADA)’s updated Oral Health Tracker shows almost 11 in every 1,000 children aged 5-9 were admitted to Australian hospitals for preventable dental conditions in 2021-2022, compared to 9.5 per 1,000 in 2018.

5 Ways To Help Prevent Tooth Decay in Children

• Regular visits to an experienced family-friendly dentist
• Professional cleanings by a dental hygienist or dentist to remove debris and prevent early signs of decay
• Cutting back on sugary beverages such as soft drinks, energy drinks and sweetened fruit juices
• Cutting down on sugar-laden snacks, especially hard candies, muesli bars and lollies
• Correct amount of exposure to fluoridated water.

Good Oral Health Habits Start Young

Our dedicated team enjoys guiding children into good oral care habits and starting to practise what they’ve learned, from a young age. At The Dental Spa Bondi, we recommend you start bringing your children in when they start to get their first teeth. This will get your littlies used to sitting in the dental chair, chatting to the dentist and learning about daily habits such as brushing their teeth. If children have a calm and enjoyable experience initially, then they are much more likely to continue consistent quality dental care throughout their entire lives.

Building on these early experiences, the importance of children’s oral health extends beyond just maintaining a bright smile. Early dental visits set the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits, helping to prevent cavities and other dental issues that can arise if neglected. Parents play a crucial role in this journey, as they are instrumental in reinforcing daily oral hygiene practices at home, such as brushing and flossing.

Regular check-ups are essential, as they allow dentists to monitor the development of a child’s teeth, catch potential problems early, and provide guidance tailored to their needs. Cultivating these habits early not only empowers children to take charge of their oral health but also instils confidence and comfort in visiting the dentist, reducing anxiety and ensuring that they enjoy a lifetime of optimal dental health.

We Make Your Children’s Dental Appointment Special

On arrival, your child will meet their dentist, sit up in the chair and begin by cuddling our resident soft toy crocodile! The dentist will ask the child to have a look at the animal’s teeth and give them a good thorough check. Children love this type of role playing, and it helps get them ready for their own check up!

Your child can then settle back in the comfy dental chair with soundproof headphones on and watch their favourite television show on the large screen on our ceiling. Next, your child will chat to the dentist and receive a little fun education about oral hygiene. Our education plan is specifically designed for children, and will be covered carefully over the course of their visits.

After the appointment, we let our young patients go to the treasure box and select a toy. They will also get a balloon, toothbrush, and sing a fun song with their doctor about brushing their teeth. Funnily enough, we find that parents usually have to drag their children out of our office, because they never want to leave!
