How can we help you?
At BDF Dental, we believe informed patients feel more comfortable about their care. That’s why we’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions we hear from our Beaudesert community.
We Welcome Your Call
If you don’t see your question here, our friendly team is always just a phone call away and happy to help.
Children's Dentistry
The Australian Dental Association recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting—whichever comes first. These early visits allow us to check that teeth and gums are developing normally and provide parents with advice on caring for their child’s smile from the start.
What to Expect at the First Visit
At BDF Dental in Beaudesert, we want your child’s first visit to be a fun and positive experience. Our gentle approach aims to help children feel comfortable in the dental chair. During this appointment, we’ll:
- Count and examine their teeth and gums
- Talk about brushing and flossing techniques for little ones
- Discuss nutrition and how certain snacks can impact dental health
- Answer any questions you have about habits such as thumb-sucking or using a dummy
We strive to make these visits light-hearted and interactive so children can see the dentist as a friendly, positive place.
We're Here to Help Build Lifelong Habits Together
Bringing your child to the dentist early can set a foundation for lifelong oral health. Regular visits may help prevent cavities and reduce the likelihood of dental anxiety. Even if your child hasn’t had their first visit yet, we welcome your call.
