Children's Dentistry in Prahran
Gentle, friendly dental care for growing smiles.
Children’s dentistry focuses on providing gentle and positive dental care for kids. At Prahran Family Dental, we aim to create a comfortable experience that helps children feel relaxed while building healthy habits from an early age.
Why Children’s Dental Care Matters
Children’s dentistry is dedicated to the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers. It includes preventive care, routine check-ups, and treatments designed to support healthy growth and development of teeth.
Regular dental visits help detect early signs of cavities, alignment issues, and gum problems. By addressing these concerns early, we can ensure better long-term dental health.
At Prahran Family Dental, we focus on making each visit calm and friendly so children feel safe and confident during their dental care.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
Eligible children can receive Medicare-funded dental care through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). The scheme covers basic services such as examinations, cleaning, fillings and extractions, up to a capped amount over two consecutive calendar years.
Your child may be eligible if they are aged 0 to 17 for at least one day in the calendar year and your family receives an eligible payment such as Family Tax Benefit Part A. Medicare notifies most eligible families at the start of each year.
- Medicare-funded care for eligible children

Treatment Procedure
A child’s dental visit begins with a gentle examination to assess the condition of their teeth and gums. This helps identify any early signs of decay or development concerns.
Preventive treatments such as cleaning and fluoride application may be performed to protect the teeth and maintain oral hygiene.
If treatment is required, we explain everything in a simple and reassuring way to ensure your child feels comfortable throughout the process.
Our goal is to create a positive experience that encourages children to maintain good dental habits.
