Children's Dental Care in Bundall
Children’s dental care in Bundall is provided as part of our broader family dental care, allowing parents and children to receive care at the same practice. Regular visits from an early age help your child’s teeth develop well and help them feel comfortable in the dental chair, which sets up good habits that last into adulthood. Dr Mehran Shaibani and the team welcome children as part of caring for your family, and we keep every visit calm, gentle, and friendly.
Children’s dental services offered at Bundall Dental
As part of our family dental care, we look after children with a range of gentle, preventive treatments suited to young teeth:
- check-ups and examinations, to catch any issues early
- gentle cleaning and remineralising agent, to help keep teeth strong
- fissure sealants, thin protective coatings that help guard the back teeth against decay
- monitoring how the teeth and jaw are developing as your child grows
- custom mouthguards for sport, to protect teeth during activity
- friendly guidance on brushing and flossing at home
Starting dental visits early helps children feel at ease with the dentist and makes looking after their teeth a normal, positive part of growing up.
Bulk billing for eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule
Many families can have their children’s routine dental care bulk billed through the Australian Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). The scheme provides a set amount toward eligible dental services for children over a two-year period, and eligibility depends on your family receiving certain government payments. You can check your child’s eligibility and the current benefit amount on the Australian Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule page, or ask our team and we will help you work it out.
Helping your child feel comfortable at the dentist
For many children, and plenty of adults, feeling relaxed at the dentist comes down to good early experiences. We keep first visits short and friendly, explain things in a way children understand, and never rush. If your child is nervous, let us know when you book so we can take extra time. For more on preparing for a first visit and building healthy habits at home, this practical guide for parents will help you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most guidance suggests a child’s first dental visit around their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits are usually short and gentle, more about helping your child get familiar with the dentist than any treatment, and they let us keep an eye on how the teeth are coming through.
For most children, a check-up every six months works well, though we may suggest a different interval depending on your child’s teeth and their risk of decay. Regular visits help us catch small problems early and keep your child comfortable with coming to the dentist.
Yes, for children who are eligible under the Australian Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule. If your child qualifies, we can bulk bill their covered dental services, so there is no out-of-pocket cost for those items. You can check eligibility on the government’s CDBS page, or ask our team and we will help you find out.
Talking about the dentist in a positive way, keeping visits regular from a young age, and avoiding words like “hurt” or “needle” all help. Letting us know in advance if your child is anxious means we can take extra time and keep things calm. Leading by example, by looking after your own teeth and keeping your own check-ups, makes a difference too.
