Children’s Dentistry

Your Local Paediatric Dentist in Kalgoorlie

Dentistry for children can be a daunting thought, but with the advances that have been made in recent years, it doesn’t have to be like that for kids or their parents. What the world needs to bear in mind, though, is that children are different from adults. Their bodies are constantly developing, and certain aspects are not yet fully formed. That is why there are paediatricians in the medical world, and why should it be any different in dentistry? At Goldfields Family Dental, we have the knowledge and skills of paediatric dentists to make sure the younger members of the family are well looked after.

Our caring and compassionate dental team enjoys seeing children of all ages, making it convenient for your family to receive quality care in one location.

Alex and the team have a reputation for creating an upbeat, positive environment for our paediatric patients. It’s not just our mission to help your child enjoy healthy teeth; we want them to look forward to each visit with us.

We have a dedicated waiting area for children where they can also play while their siblings and parents have dental treatment. All of our treatment room have televisions on the ceiling and the children can choose a show of their liking.

Children’s mouths grow and develop at a rapid pace. By incorporating early education and establishing healthy habits at a young age, we can help your child avoid common problems like tooth decay and gum disease.

The Revolution in Children’s Dental Health

Parents and particularly grandparents are often amazed at how healthy kids’ teeth are these days, and there are several reasons for that, from the use of fluoride in water and dental products to better eating habits and education on taking care of teeth and gums. We believe prevention is better than cure that is why we run free toothbrushing sessions for children who have a six-monthly dental checkup and clean. In these sessions, we apply a solution to the children’s teeth to show them the amount of matter that can remain on the teeth if they are not cleaned properly. Read More

We then teach kids correct brushing techniques to reach the places that a quick once-over doesn’t cover. Having explained the importance of this – in a serious but fun way – we give them a pack of goodies to take home, including a brush, toothpaste, and floss. In fact, parents can learn a thing or two from the children who have absorbed our children’s dental health guidance.

Why Dentistry for Children Should Be Fun

Children get enough lecturing in their lives, so to get our messages about keeping their mouths, gums and teeth healthy across to them, we try to make it fun. We start by creating a happy, relaxed atmosphere. The key to lifelong healthy teeth and gums is learning good habits early on and continuing them into adulthood.

We also provide a special waiting room at our dental clinic where children can play while their parents are having treatment, and when it’s their turn in the chair, we have televisions on the ceiling, and they can choose what to watch.

The Importance of Paediatric Dentist

Because children’s mouths are still developing, just like the rest of their bodies, treatment for youngsters is rather different from how dentists go about it for adults. It should be, anyway, and if you want to get the benefit of a real specialist in this area, a true paediatric dentist, you are not going to find one at any old dental practice. At Goldfields Family Dental we have this dedicated expertise, and it is one of the things that makes us the best all-round choice for your family. Even if you require after-hours dentist service, we are here for you.

What our Patients say

From when I first stepped in to the friendly reception area, and Dr Eric on my first visit then Dr Matt on my second, I was put at ease right from the start. Having to have a tooth extracted is usually very painful but it wasn’t. I was talked to through the whole procedure and was out in minutes. A day later and I’m not in any pain and have no swelling. Would highly recommend this practice for their friendliness, professionalism and after hours care, with something as simple as checking in on me after my procedure. Thanks again ☺️

Never been a fan of visiting the dentist but went to see Dr Theresa and couldn’t be happier. I didn’t hold much hope that they would be able to help much but she did an amazing job.Honestly for once I’m actually motivated to go back. Staff at the front desk were patient and super helpful too.

I recently had my teeth cleaned at Goldfields Family Dental. My teeth are always Super sensitive! Really don’t like the cold water but Mackenzie used the air flow machine to clean my teeth and just WOW!!! What an amazing machine. Game changer! Warm water for the win! Mackenzie was so gentle! My teeth feel so clean. Thanks so much. My health fund paid the whole appointment and I’m super impressed!
