Children’s Dentistry in Applecross & Mt Pleasant
Our youngest patients are some of our most treasured. Starting proper dental habits young helps set children up for good dental health in the future. We aim to appointments a positive and engaging experience for kids of all ages. By establishing good habits early, your child can enjoy strong, healthy teeth for years to come.
The Unique Needs of Growing Smiles
In dental terms, children are different from adults in many ways. They have fewer teeth that are chemically different to adult teeth. Their teeth tend to decay more quickly than adult teeth and need a unique type of care to keep them healthy.
Although ‘baby teeth’ are eventually lost naturally as the adult teeth come through, they still perform an important role in guiding the adult teeth into position and to ensure that healthy development occurs.
Complete Paediatric Dental Care
Our team offers services designed to meet the unique needs of our youngest patients, from routine checkups to essential preventative care, including teeth cleanings, fillings, and X-rays. We monitor growth and development closely, ensuring healthy alignment and early detection of potential concerns.

A Comfortable and Friendly Environment
At Mount Pleasant Dental Centre, we focus on helping children feel at ease. Our caring team creates a welcoming environment, explaining every step in gentle, non-threatening language. For a fun and engaging experience, we involve kids in their care by demonstrating brushing and flossing techniques. Even our toothpaste is a berry flavour hit with kids!
First Visits Made Easy
During your child’s first visit, we introduce them to our team and equipment in a friendly, interactive way. We take time to help each child feel comfortable, letting them explore the dentist’s chair and experience the tools in a non-intimidating manner. Should X-rays be required, they’re done quickly and efficiently, ensuring your child’s comfort throughout.
