About the Service

We love caring for young smiles at The Forever Dental & Smile Centre. Our children’s dentistry services are designed to make each visit fun, educational, and stress-free. From their very first dental check-up to ongoing care, we guide children through good dental habits and monitor the development of their teeth and jaws.

Families in Toowoomba and surrounds trust our experienced team to treat children with patience and understanding. We provide age-appropriate care and help create positive dental experiences that will last a lifetime. We’re here for kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens.

We take a friendly, step-by-step approach to help kids feel comfortable:

  • Warm welcome in a child-friendly environment
  • Oral exam and tooth count
  • Cleaning and fluoride treatment
  • Dental x-rays (if needed)
  • Fissure sealants for cavity prevention (if suitable)
  • Brushing and flossing education for kids and parents

Frequently Asked Questions

What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums to avoid problems before they occur. It includes regular dental checkups, professional dental cleaning, fluoride treatments, and education on proper oral care at home.

How often should I have a dental checkup?

Most people should visit for a dental checkup and dental cleaning every six months. However, your preventive dental care schedule may vary based on your oral health status, history of cavities or gum disease, and individual risk factors.

What's included in a comprehensive oral examination?

A comprehensive oral examination includes checking your teeth, gums, tongue, and soft tissues for any signs of decay, gum disease, or oral cancer. Your dentist will also review your medical history and take X-rays if needed to detect hidden issues.

Does preventive dentistry save money?

Yes! Preventive dentistry is cost-effective because regular dental checkups and dental cleaning catch problems early when they're simple to treat. This prevents expensive procedures like root canals, crowns, or extractions later.

What can I do at home for better oral care?

Good oral care starts at home. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, limit sugary foods, and drink plenty of water. Combine these habits with regular preventive dental care visits for optimal results.
