Children's Dentistry
At Hornsby Dental, we understand the importance of instilling good oral hygiene habits from a young age. Children’s dental health plays a crucial role in their overall well-being and sets the foundation for healthy smiles throughout their lives. Our expert team is committed to providing quality care and guidance to ensure your child’s oral health is in the best possible hands.
Why Baby Teeth Matter
The Role of Permanent Teeth
Did you know that children begin to get their permanent teeth as early as 6 years old? These teeth are designed to last a lifetime, and once they’re decayed, there’s no second set to replace them. Practising good oral care is crucial in keeping your child’s permanent teeth healthy and strong.
At Hornsby Dental, we provide tailored advice and care plans to ensure your child’s teeth remain cavity-free. We focus on teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques and guide you through healthy dietary choices that promote strong teeth. By starting good habits early, your child can avoid costly and uncomfortable dental issues in the future.

Early Dental Visits:
Why They're Important
The Australian Dental Association recommends children visit the dentist by the time they turn one or within six months of their first tooth. Early dental visits help children get comfortable with the dentist and ensure their teeth are developing properly. Regular check-ups allow our experienced team to spot potential problems early and prevent them from becoming more serious.
Our team at Hornsby Dental creates a welcoming, gentle environment to make sure your child’s experience is positive. We educate both parents and children on the importance of good oral hygiene, making every visit a learning experience that fosters a lifetime of healthy habits.

100% Coverage for Eligible Families

Me and my family have been patients at Hornsby Dental for several years, and the experience has always been exceptional. The team is professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough in their care. Most recently, I was especially grateful for how smoothly they arranged a same-day urgent appointment to fix my daughter's chipped tooth. They handled the situation with such care and efficiency, making sure she felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The results were fantastic, and we truly appreciate their dedication and expertise. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dental clinic!
