Gentle & Caring Children’s Dentistry in Clayfield

At Northside Dental Solutions, we believe that modern dentistry should differ from the past. We believe that every adult and child should have access to dental services in Australia. We also believe that the steps you take to achieve dental health as a child can make or break the future of your health.

Proper education about dental health for parents and children helps them develop good habits and maintain them for life. A collaborative approach between families and health practitioners is needed to ensure children grow up with healthy, strong teeth.

Our Clayfield dental clinic provides a full range of children’s dental services, from preventive care and education to fillings and orthodontic extractions. We understand that children are not little adults; they have unique needs. We are trained in paediatric dentistry and can treat children, including those with dental diseases, using the Northside Dental Solutions methods of pain-free, nonjudgmental dentistry.

Why Protecting Baby Teeth Is So Important

Many parents wonder why dental care for primary teeth that will eventually fall out is essential. Baby teeth have a few important jobs to complete before they fall out, and routine dental care helps them do their jobs properly.

Solid Foods

Primary teeth introduce your little one to the joys of eating solid foods.

Holding Space

Baby teeth hold space and guide incoming adult teeth into proper positions.

First Words

Primary teeth help your child form their first words and begin to talk with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer bulk-billed children's dentistry (CDBS)?

Since 2014, we have been lucky to have access to the Children’s Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS). This scheme offers eligible children $1000 to spend at the dentist over two years. The CDBS covers all standard dental services, such as checkups, x-rays, cleans, fillings, preventive fissure sealants and extractions.

Eligibility for CDBS

The Department of Human Services assesses the eligibility of your children. If you receive an Australian Government payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A or B or other benefit payments, your children may be eligible for care under the CDBS. You can check eligibility by calling the Department of Human Services or us. You will need to have your Medicare card handy.

Bulk Billing

We bulk-bill all children eligible for CDBS to keep the cost of children’s dental care affordable. As long as the $1000 limit isn't reached, there will be no out-of-pocket amount. We are provided with a Medicare schedule of fees that we follow when claiming children’s dental services. If you exceed the $1000 limit, we will give you a complete cost estimate before commencing any work. The fees for this extra treatment will be the same as those set out in Medicare's Fee Schedule.

Contact your Clayfield children's dentist on (07) 3868 2753 if you have questions about CDBS dental benefits for children.

Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Children can begin their dental journey at Northside Dental Solutions around age two or earlier if parents have specific concerns. We spend time helping them feel happy, safe and comfortable in the dental chair. During those first visits, and as they get older, we’ll begin to incorporate cleans and x-rays when they’re ready.

At Northside Dental Solutions, we have access to the Children’s Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS). This scheme offers eligible children $1000 to spend at the dentist over two years. The CDBS covers all standard dental services, such as checkups, x-rays, cleans, fillings, preventive fissure sealants and extractions.

If your child isn’t eligible for the CDBS, we still offer our complete range of dental services at a discounted children’s rate to make it fair for all. Our prices for children’s dentistry are listed here on our website.

If you have a health fund, it will cover part or all of the fees. We also offer an interest-free payment plan for children who require extensive work. Contact our team if you have questions about children’s dentistry in Clayfield or want to arrange a dental appointment for your children.

Hey Clayfield Parents, Let’s Keep Those Tiny Teeth Sparkling This July!

July holiday fun means extra play time, sneaky treats and, if we’re not careful, unwanted 'sugar bugs' (cavities). At Northside Dental Solutions, we’ve cooked up a fun and kid-friendly guide to help Clayfield families protect little smiles.

1. Outsmart the Sugar Bugs

Explain plaque to kids, and watch them become superhero defenders of their own teeth! We call those cavity-causing bacteria the ‘Sugar Bug Squad'. They love:

Sticky lollies
Fizzy drinks
Marathon grazing in front of the TV

Equip your little ones with:

Fluoride toothpaste (Just use a pea-sized blob for kids under age six.)
Two-minute brush-alongs (We ...
