CHILDREN'S DENTISTRY
GENTLE CARE FOR LITTLE SMILES
At By The Lake Dental, we believe every child deserves a positive and comfortable dental experience. As a trusted children’s dentist and family dental office, we’ve created a warm, welcoming environment designed to make your little one feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. From our friendly team to our thoughtful amenities, such as the Koala Kare changing station and our gentle STA (Single Tooth Anaesthesia® System), we’re here to care for the whole family with kindness and respect.
CREATING A POSITIVE FIRST IMPRESSION
We know a child’s early experiences at the dental clinic can shape their attitude towards oral health for life. That’s why our approach to pediatric dentistry is built around compassion, clear communication, and a little bit of fun. Our friendly kids' dentists and dental team take the time to explain every step in kid-friendly language, helping young patients feel more in control and less anxious.
Keeping your child’s oral health in check and staying consistent with regular dental visits is one of the best things you can do to support their overall well-being, confidence, and development, both now and in the future.
🦷 Prevent Cavities and Gum Disease
Regular dental checkups and cleanings help catch small issues before they become painful or costly. Our kids' dentists and dental team can remove plaque, apply fluoride, and teach proper brushing/flossing habits to keep your child cavity-free.
😁 Promote Healthy Tooth and Jaw Development
Pediatric dental visits allow your dentist to monitor how your child’s teeth and jaw are growing. Early detection of alignment or bite issues can prevent complications later and may reduce the need for braces or extensive orthodontic work.
💙 Develop Lifelong Healthy Habits
Visiting the children's dentist regularly normalizes dental care and reduces anxiety over time. Kids who grow up with positive dental experiences are more likely to maintain excellent oral hygiene into adulthood.
🍎 Support Good Nutrition and Speech Development
Healthy teeth are essential for chewing and speaking properly. Dental issues can interfere with eating habits, nutrition, and even speech patterns. Preventive care helps support your child’s overall development.
💰 Save Money (and Toothaches!) in the Long Run
Prevention is always more affordable than treatment. Regular dental visits help avoid dental emergencies and reduce the need for fillings, crowns, or extractions.
👍 Build a Trusting Relationship with the Dentist
The earlier your child visits the dentist, the more comfortable they’ll feel. This trust leads to better cooperation during dental appointments and less dental anxiety as they grow.
PREVENTIVE CARE FOR LIFELONG SMILES
As soon as your child’s first tooth grows, it’s time to book her/him with one of our kids dentists. It’s recommended to brush twice a day and floss once the teeth are close together (usually age 5-6) or when one of our dentists advises you to do so.
We focus on prevention to help your child maintain a healthy smile as they grow. Routine hygiene visits and fluoride treatments play a big role in avoiding cavities and keeping enamel strong. Minimizing sugary foods and drinks will also help keeping cavities away.

Nitrous Oxide
To make procedures even easier, we offer Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas), which:
-
Helps reduce anxiety so your child feels calm and relaxed
-
Minimises discomfort and dulls memory of the procedure
-
Makes appointments feel shorter than they actually are. 30 minutes can feel like 2!


Phase 1 Orthodontics
As your child’s permanent teeth start to come in, early orthodontic guidance can make a big difference later on. Phase 1 Orthodontics (typically between ages 6–10) prepares the mouth for future braces or Invisalign®. It can help:
-
Create space for incoming adult teeth
-
Correct bite issues early on
-
Make the second phase of treatment faster and more effective
Ask us for a free consultation on your next visit to see if Phase 1 Treatment may be right for your child.
Fluoride Treatments
Regular cleanings followed by Fluoride varnish is important to prevents tooth decay, and in some cases, helping to rebuild the tooth enamel.


Silver Diamine Fluoride
One of the products we use for children is called Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF). SDF is an alternative to treat cavities in certain cases, for example, when kids do not cooperate during traditional treatment (fillings). This typically requires 3 sessions. Ask one of our dentists if this is a good alternative for your kid.
