What to expect
from this service.
We love seeing young patients at Alfredton Dental. Our gentle, friendly approach helps children feel safe and comfortable from their very first visit, building the positive dental experiences that set them up for life.
We recommend bringing children in for their first dental visit around their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help us monitor development, spot any concerns, and — most importantly — help your child become familiar with the dental environment in a calm, unhurried way.

FAQs
Common questions
answered.
01When should I bring my child to the dentist for the first time?
We recommend the first visit around the time of the first tooth or by their first birthday. Early visits normalise dental care and help us catch any issues early.
02Is my child eligible for bulk billing?
Children aged 2–17 who receive certain government benefits may be eligible for up to $1,095 in dental services under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). We can check eligibility for you.
03How do I prepare my child for a dental visit?
Keep it positive — avoid words like 'hurt' or 'needle'. Read a book about the dentist, play pretend at home, and let them know it will be quick and easy. We do the rest.
04What are fissure sealants?
Fissure sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the biting surfaces of back teeth. They fill the deep grooves where bacteria hide and are especially effective for children prone to decay.
05Do you make custom mouthguards for children?
Yes. Custom-fitted mouthguards provide far superior protection to store-bought options. We make mouthguards for all sports and recommend them for any child playing contact sport.
