Looking after your child’s teeth
By Marloe Dental Co. · 2 April 2026

Good habits early make a real difference later. None of this is complicated — it’s mostly consistency.
The basics that matter
- Brush twice a day with a small, soft brush
- Use a smear of age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste
- Keep sugary drinks to mealtimes
- Make water the everyday drink
Start visits early
Bringing your child along from a young age helps them feel comfortable and lets us spot anything early. We keep first visits gentle and unhurried.
The CDBS can help
Eligible children can receive up to $1,132 in dental care over two years through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, fully bulk-billed. We’re happy to check your child’s eligibility for you.
