The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children have their first dental check-up by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears (whichever comes first). Early visits help ensure that your child’s teeth and gums are developing properly and get them comfortable with the dental environment.
Tiny Teeth, Big Smiles
Starting dental visits early helps prevent cavities, detect any potential concerns and establish good oral hygiene habits from the beginning. Your child's first appointment will be gentle and stress-free. We focus on familiarising them with the dentist’s chair, checking for any early signs of tooth decay and providing helpful tips for parents on brushing, teething and diet choices.

Bringing your child to a children’s dentist in Mount Waverley at an early age can reduce dental anxiety and create positive associations with dental care. At Mount Waverley Smiles, we make first visits fun and welcoming so your little one feels at ease while we care for their teeth.
