Family dentists provide dental care from infancy through adulthood.
This allows your dentist to keep a record of the patient’s dental care history and needs.
In addition, the whole family can visit the same dentist, which saves time and results in more personalised care.
Starting visits to a family dentist early is important for a child’s oral health.
Family dentists specialise in a wide range of services for patients of all ages, including:
Regular cleanings
Dental cleanings and 6-monthly exams are extremely important, as they allow your dentist to keep track of your oral health or your child’s oral hygiene.
Fluoride treatments
Fluoride and fissure sealants can help combat cavities and are often used in children who are prone to cavities.
Cavity detection and filling
Cavities are the most common preventable childhood health condition. Your Melbourne CBD dentist can identify and treat cavities with fillings.
Gum disease treatments
Periodontal disease is very common in adults. We use procedures like deep cleanings, gum flap surgery, and antibiotics to deal with gum disease.
A family dentist not only understands how children’s teeth change with age but also recognises that children may fear going to the dentist.
Your Melbourne CBD dentist has a gentle approach so that children will develop positive associations with dental check-ups and build good oral hygiene habits for life.
At Art De Dente Melbourne CBD, we pride ourselves on always delivering the best dental care for your entire family. We accept same-day appointments.

Take your kids for their first dental appointment when they are around 6 months old. If you notice that your children have discoloured teeth, bring them in before this.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head in cleaning your child’s teeth. There are made especially for infants that are perfect to use at bedtime.
Everyone should visit the dentist for regular check-ups at least every six months.
Patients who are at a greater risk for developing oral cancer or gum disease may need to see the dentist more than just twice a year. Your Melbourne CBD dentist will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular check-ups.
