First dental visit
A short, kind introduction to the chair in Dandenong, with you staying close, a look at first teeth, and no surprise treatment on day one.

Children's dentistry
A children's dentist in Dandenong for calm first visits and care that grows with your child. Parents stay in the room, we explain before we touch, and we only recommend extra treatment when it would genuinely help their age, risk, and comfort.
The first visit
We introduce the chair, the mirror, and the count of teeth before any treatment. Play and plain language help children understand, parents stay close throughout, and we would rather stop early than push through a visit that makes the next one harder.
Your child can sit with you, look at the tools, and practise opening. Nothing happens until they feel ready enough to try.
We check teeth, gums, and how the jaws are growing, then talk through what we see in words a parent and a child can both follow.
You leave with clear next steps for the sink, the lunchbox, and the next visit. No rush, no surprise treatment.
For parents
This is a children's dentist on David Street, not a separate kids-only wing. Visits at Fresh Smile in Dandenong are still paced differently: shorter where we can, parents in the room, and treatment only when it is clearly useful for their age, risk, and comfort. Each children's visit we offer has its own page — first visits, check ups, sealants, growth checks — so you can read what happens before you book.
Start with a first dental visit, then regular check ups and cleans. Fluoride and fissure sealants protect new molars when grooves and risk say they would help. Growth and development watches bite, habits, and timing for any specialist look.
We do not bundle every visit into one appointment. Each page explains when that booking is actually the right fit.
Eligible children may use the Child Dental Benefits Schedule for basic dental services. Eligibility is set by Services Australia. Call 03 8909 9337 if you want fees or CDBS talked through before you book. For more information on Medicare CDBS, visit our information page here.
Adults in the same household can book general dentistry here too. We keep those visits separate so a first dental visit does not share the room with someone else's filling.
Say it is a first visit, mention age and nerves, and prefer a morning slot if after school tends to unravel. Bring a comfort item if they use one. Keep the story at home simple: a special chair, a tiny mirror, counting teeth.
If they are unwell, call and we can move the time. If a tooth is sore, still call. We will help you decide whether they need to be seen sooner. Book online or phone the Dandenong clinic on 03 8909 9337.

Every stage
Infants, school aged children, and teens are welcome. The chair stays familiar as the smile changes.
First teeth, first chair, and a calm start before problems have a chance to settle in.
Check ups, cleaning help, and sealants while adult teeth are coming through.
Bite, hygiene, and confidence through the years when habits either stick or slip.
Between check-ups
You are here to understand children's dental care at Fresh Smile. These are the reminders we give Dandenong families after a visit — what to watch at home, what goes in the lunchbox, and when to ring us before the next routine check.
Before you book
Quiet answers about first visits, parents in the room, baby teeth, CDBS, and how often children should come to our Dandenong clinic. Each children's service page goes into that visit in more detail.
Aim for a first visit by the time the first teeth are through, or by the first birthday, whichever comes first. We keep that visit short and kind. Your child can sit with you while we look at teeth, gums, and how the jaws are growing.
Yes. You stay with them. They can sit on your lap or hold your hand. We do not send you to the hallway.
Most children come about every six months. If we see early spots, new molars coming through, or a habit that needs watching, we may ask you back sooner.
Many children can use CDBS for a range of basic dental services. Eligibility is set by Services Australia, not by the clinic. Call 03 8909 9337 if you want fees or rebates talked through.
Tell us when you book so we can choose a gentler slot. In the room we explain before we touch, pause if they need a breather, and pick the least invasive option that is still safe. Morning often feels easier than after school.
Yes. Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth, help children chew and speak, and can still get decay. Plaque can sit where a small brush cannot reach, even when those teeth will come out later.
Yes. Fresh Smile is a family dentist on David Street. Children's visits stay paced for children, with parents in the room. Adults book general dentistry separately so a first dental visit does not share the room with someone else's treatment.
If they are unwell, call and we can move the time. A children's visit works better when they can breathe easily and sit for a short look.
If a tooth is sore, still call 03 8909 9337. We will help you decide whether they need to be seen sooner than the next routine check.
You are part of the visit, not waiting in the hallway. Ask anything. We would rather explain twice than leave you guessing.
Tell us before you arrive. We use calm pacing, tell show do, and the least invasive option that is still safe.
Call 03 8909 9337 with CDBS questions before you book.
When brothers, sisters, and parents share a clinic, we can watch a family's oral health over years.
