Children's Dentist in Adelaide | Fullarton Park Dental

Our focus for children is on preventative dentistry with education and awareness on developing good lifelong dental habits. With this in mind we recommend six monthly examinations and cleans. This establishes a good foundation and can lead to good dental health for the rest of their lives.

From general check-ups and hygiene, to sports mouthguards and emergency care, our staff are highly trained and our surgeries are child friendly, equipped with the latest technology to ensure that all children can be treated with understanding and care. In 2020 we became an accredited Autism Friendly dentist after undertaking training on how to be more inclusive of children on the spectrum.

Having your child become accustomed to visiting the dentist from an early age also helps them become more comfortable in the dental setting, which goes a long way to making sure that dental visits are positive experiences throughout their life. Kids accustomed to visiting their friendly dentist grow up comfortable and confident about visiting the dentist and motivated to maintain their teeth in the best possible health as they get older via regular visits to the dentist.

If you are looking for a fantastic experience for your child, please don’t hesitate to book an appointment on 8272 5271. Our practice is conveniently located on Fullarton Road in Highgate, a 10 minute drive the centre of Adelaide.

Introducing Children to the Dentist in a Fun, Positive Way

Family dental with a kind and passionate team caring for the whole family. We first visited Fullarton Park Dental for my grandfather in his 90's and now mum dad and the kids all attend. Dr Michael Filosi and his team have been excellent at introducing the children to the dentist in a fun positive way and he always takes the time to provide explanations and advice about any questions or concerns we have. His knowledge and skill are exemplary and we high recommend them to you!

At what age should my kids start coming to the clinic?

Unless there is something of concern then between the ages of 1-2 when there are a few teeth in the mouth and diet is becoming more varied is a great time to bring your child in for a check up. Keep an eye out for our regular Kid's Days which are dedicated to providing children with a fun experience at our clinic.

What should I look out for when I clean my kids teeth?

At a young age a child needs an adult to help to effectively clean their teeth. This is also a great opportunity to look for any changes in the normal appearance of their teeth. Small white patches, brown spots, red or swollen gums, broken or chipped teeth or any other variation to the normal is a reason to bring your child in to have a check-up.

Do we have to fix "baby teeth" if they will fall out anyway?

Yes! Especially if it is tooth decay as this is a “contagious disease” and can spread to the other teeth in the mouth (not just the teeth next to the problem tooth). Also, a prematurely extracted tooth can no longer act as a space saver for the adult tooth and this can become an issue for the alignment of the adult teeth.

Do you offer “no gap” or free dental services for kids?

Yes, for all children under 18 years of age who have private health insurance, we offer NO GAP dental checkups, including exams, teeth cleans, X-rays and fluoride treatments.

We also provide free kids dental for children eligible for Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) which provides up to $1026 in benefits for basic dental services and treatment over 2 consecutive calendar years.
