  "content": "Bringing your child to the dentist early and regularly is one of the most important things you can do for their long-term health. At Core Dental Berwick, we believe every child deserves a positive dental experience - one that builds confidence and healthy habits for life.\n\n**When Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?**\n\nWe recommend your child's first dental visit by the age of 12 months, or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help us detect any concerns early, provide guidance on teething and diet, and most importantly, help your child become familiar with the dental environment before any treatment is ever needed.\n\n**What We Offer for Children at Core Dental Berwick**\n\n- Gentle check-ups and cleans tailored to children's needs\n- Children's check-ups from $80\n- Digital X-rays (using the lowest possible radiation dose)\n- Fissure sealants to protect newly erupted permanent molars from decay\n- Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing teeth\n- Early assessment for orthodontic concerns\n- Guidance for parents on diet, fluoride, brushing techniques, and teething\n- Happy gas (nitrous oxide) available to help anxious children feel calm and comfortable\n\n**On-Site Specialist Paediatric Dentist: Dr Sarah Scott**\n\nDr Sarah Scott is our on-site Specialist Paediatric Dentist at Berwick. Dr Scott holds a DClinDent in Paediatric Dentistry from the University of Melbourne and brings over 15 years of general dentistry experience before specialising. Her holistic approach prioritises positive dental experiences that set children up for a lifetime of good oral health. Dr Scott's gentle manner has made her a trusted name among Berwick families.\n\n**Child Dental Benefits Schedule - Bulk Billing**\n\nCore Dental Berwick bulk bills eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Children aged 2 to 17 from families receiving eligible Australian Government payments may access up to $1,026 in dental benefits over a two-year period, covering examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, and extractions.\n\nTo check your child's eligibility, visit MyGov (Medicare) or contact our practice - we are happy to help you understand what is covered.\n\n**HICAPS On-Site**\n\nWe have HICAPS on-site for instant health fund rebate processing, so you only pay the gap on the day - no waiting for reimbursement.\n\n**Creating Positive Dental Experiences**\n\nWe know that a child's early dental experiences shape their relationship with dental care for life. Our Berwick team creates a warm, welcoming environment - from the non-clinical decor to our gentle, patient-centred approach. We explain everything to your child in age-appropriate language and always move at their pace.\n\nFor anxious children, we offer happy gas (nitrous oxide) - a safe, mild sedation that helps children relax while remaining fully conscious. It wears off within minutes of the appointment ending.\n\nAll clinicians at Core Dental Berwick are AHPRA-registered and members of the Australian Dental Association.\n\nBerwick families have trusted Core Dental at Eden Rise Village for children's dental care for over a decade. Our warm, welcoming environment - with ceiling TVs, Netflix, and a genuinely unhurried approach - helps turn what can be an anxious experience into one that children actually look forward to. We serve the full south-eastern corridor, including Berwick, Narre Warren, Beaconsfield, and Officer.\n\n**Book Your Child's Appointment**\n\nGive your child the best start in dental health.
