Why Choose Us for your Children’s Dentist in Melbourne
- Preventive Dental Care:
We emphasize the importance of preventive dentistry in children’s oral health. Regular check-ups, dental cleanings, and fluoride treatments help protect their growing smiles from cavities and other dental issues. - Dental Sealants:
Dental sealants are an effective way to shield your child’s vulnerable molars and premolars from decay. Our dentists apply thin, protective coatings to the chewing surfaces of these teeth, reducing the risk of cavities. - Educational Approach:
We believe that education plays a vital role in maintaining good oral hygiene habits. Our team takes the time to teach children proper brushing and flossing techniques, empowering them to take charge of their oral health.
Comprehensive Children’s Dentistry Services
Child’s First Dental Visit & Routine Check Ups
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth eruption. This early introduction to the dentist helps establish a positive foundation for lifelong oral health.
Regular dental check-ups are also essential to monitor your child’s oral health, identify any concerns early on, and address them promptly.
Dental Cleanings & Hygiene
Professional dental cleanings are an integral part of preventive care, as they remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, promoting a healthy smile.
Fluoride Treatments & Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Fluoride helps strengthen teeth and protect them from decay. Our fluoride treatments are safe and effective in reducing the risk of cavities.
If your child experiences a cavity, we use tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with their natural teeth for a beautiful, healthy smile.
Custom Mouthguards
We provide custom-made mouthguards to protect your child’s teeth during sports and physical activities, preventing potential dental injuries.
At Dr Zamani Dental Practice we are passionate about making our visits to the dentist a positive and enjoyable experience for all.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth eruption. Early dental visits help establish a positive dental experience and allow our paediatric dentist to monitor their oral health from an early age.
Are baby teeth important if they will eventually fall out?
Yes, baby teeth, also known as primary teeth, play a crucial role in a child’s oral health and development. They help with speech development, proper chewing, and serve as placeholders for permanent teeth, guiding them into their correct positions.
How can I prepare my child for their dental appointment?
You can prepare your child by explaining that visiting the dentist is essential for a healthy and strong smile. Keep the conversation positive and avoid using words that might create fear or anxiety. You can also read children’s books about going to the dentist to familiarize them with the process.
What can I do to prevent cavities in my child's teeth?
To prevent cavities, encourage your child to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss once daily. Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and promote a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for early detection and preventive care.
At what age should my child start brushing their teeth?
You can start cleaning your child’s gums even before their first tooth erupts. Once their first tooth appears, begin brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and water. When they are able to spit out toothpaste (usually around age 2), you can introduce a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or a broken tooth, stay calm, and contact our dental practice immediately. We offer emergency dental services and will provide guidance on how to handle the situation until you reach our office.
Can my child play sports with braces?
Yes, your child can participate in sports with braces. However, we recommend using a custom mouthguard to protect their teeth and braces from potential injuries during physical activities.
