Making dentistry positive from the start

A child's first dental experience shapes their relationship with dentistry for life. At Lumi Dental we take this seriously. We spend as much time as needed making your child comfortable, explaining instruments in child-friendly language, letting them touch and explore before we begin, and never rushing an appointment.

The Australian Dental Association recommends a child's first dental visit by age 2, or when the first tooth appears. Early visits establish healthy habits, allow us to monitor development, and prevent the anxiety that comes from only visiting when something hurts.

All Ages Welcome

From first teeth to teens. We see children at every stage of development and tailor every appointment to their age and temperament.

Medicare CDBS

Eligible children aged 2–17 with a Medicare card may access up to $1,052 in bulk-billed dental treatment under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

Fissure Sealants

Protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth significantly reduce the risk of decay. Simple, painless, and highly effective.

Orthodontic Monitoring

We monitor jaw development and tooth eruption from early childhood, referring for orthodontic assessment at the right time.

Children’s dental FAQs

When should my child first see a dentist?

By age 2, or when the first tooth appears. Early visits build positive habits and allow us to monitor jaw development before problems start.

Do you bulk bill under Medicare CDBS?

Yes. Eligible children aged 2-17 can access up to $1,052 in bulk-billed dental treatment under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Bring your Medicare card.

My child is anxious. Can you help?

Yes. We use tell-show-do techniques, never rush appointments, and let children explore instruments before we start. Most nervous children relax quickly.

Do you do fissure sealants?

Yes. Protective sealants on back teeth significantly reduce decay risk. Simple, painless, and covered under CDBS for eligible children.

When should my child be assessed for orthodontics?

From age 7. Early assessment catches jaw and airway issues while the jaw is still growing and treatment is most effective.
