Kids Dentistry
Children’s Dentistry at Yeronga Smile Dental
Why is early dental care important for kids? Establishing healthy dental habits early helps children avoid future problems with their teeth and gums. Regular visits allow us to monitor development, spot potential issues early, and provide preventive care in a relaxed, supportive environment. We focus on making visits fun and educational so that kids feel comfortable at the dentist — now and into adulthood.
If you're looking for trusted providers of children’s dentistry in Brisbane, Yeronga Smile Dental offers gentle, expert care tailored to kids of all ages.

Our goal is to support healthy smiles and positive dental experiences from the very first tooth.
What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) has been updated for 2025. Eligible children can now access up to $1,158 in dental benefits over two consecutive calendar years. This cap amount is indexed annually on 1 January.
The CDBS covers essential dental services such as:
There are no out-of-pocket costs as long as the service is bulk-billed and within the available benefit limit. Your child must be:
- Aged 0–17 years for at least one day that year
- Eligible for Medicare
- Receiving a relevant payment (such as Family Tax Benefit Part A) at any point that year
We can help you check eligibility and ensure your child receives the care they’re entitled to under the CDBS.
When should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend booking your child’s first dental visit when their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday. These early visits are all about getting comfortable, checking that development is on track, and providing guidance on brushing, teething, and nutrition.
How often should children see the dentist?
Most children benefit from a check-up every six months, though this may vary depending on their oral health. Regular visits help prevent decay, build confidence, and reduce anxiety around dental care.
How do you make dental visits less stressful for children?
Our team uses a calm, friendly approach to help kids feel safe and supported. We take things at their pace, explain each step in simple terms, and use positive reinforcement to build trust. Our modern practice is designed to be welcoming and non-threatening, so kids can learn to love visiting the dentist.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
It’s completely normal for children to feel anxious, especially if it’s their first visit. We’re experienced in helping nervous little ones feel at ease. With patience, clear communication, and gentle techniques, we aim to turn dental appointments into a positive part of your child’s routine.
