# Children's Dentist at Core Dental Glenferrie

Core Dental Glenferrie is opening in June 2026 at 827 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn VIC 3122 - the first Core Dental Group practice in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Families in Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell, Richmond and the inner east will finally have a trusted local dental group right in their neighbourhood.

## Gentle Children's Dentistry in Hawthorn

At Core Dental, we believe that a child's first dental experiences should be positive ones. Our Glenferrie practice will be designed with the same welcoming, non-clinical ambience that Core Dental is known for - Sonos music, warm decor, and a friendly team who understand how to work with children of all ages.

A child who enjoys coming to the dentist grows into an adult who takes care of their oral health. That lifelong benefit starts with a great first visit.

## Children's Dental Services at Core Dental Glenferrie

From opening day, we will provide:

- **First dental visits** - recommended by age 12 months at the first tooth
- **Children's check-ups and cleans** - gentle, thorough, and age-appropriate
- **Digital X-rays** - fast, low-radiation imaging
- **Fluoride treatments** - building strong, decay-resistant enamel
- **Fissure sealants** - protective coatings on the biting surfaces of permanent molars
- **Tooth-coloured fillings** - when treatment is needed
- **Extractions** - gentle, always explained in child-friendly language
- **Nitrous oxide (happy gas)** - available for anxious children

## Child Dental Benefits Schedule - Bulk Billing

Core Dental Glenferrie will bulk bill under the Australian Government's Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) from day one. Eligible children aged 2-17 can receive essential dental care including check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealants, fillings, and extractions at no out-of-pocket cost.

Check eligibility through myGov (Medicare) or call Services Australia on 132 011.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**At what age should my child first see a dentist?**
The Australian Dental Association recommends a child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help your child develop a positive relationship with the dentist and allow early identification of any concerns.

**Do you bulk bill children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?**
Yes - Core Dental accepts CDBS, providing up to $1,026 over 2 years for eligible children aged 2 to 17. Eligibility is based on receiving relevant Australian Government payments. Check via MyGov (Medicare) or call us for guidance.

**What if my child is anxious about the dentist?**
Our entire team is trained in gentle, patient-centred care for children. We use child-friendly language, explanation-before-action techniques, and a warm, welcoming environment. Happy gas (nitrous oxide) is available for children who need extra reassurance.

**How often should children have dental check-ups?**
Every 6 months is recommended for most children. Some children with higher decay risk or orthodontic monitoring needs may benefit from more frequent visits.
