Core Dental Group – Children's Dentistry at Our Wyndham Practice

Getting your child to the dentist early, and keeping up regular visits, is one of the better things you can do for their long-term health. At Core Dental Group's Wyndham practice, the goal is straightforward: make every child's experience a good one, so they grow up comfortable with dental care rather than dreading it.

When should my child first visit the dentist?

The recommendation is by 12 months of age, or when their first tooth comes through. Coming in early means the dentist can spot any concerns before they become problems, give you practical guidance on teething and diet, and let your child get used to the environment before any actual treatment is needed. That familiarity matters more than most parents expect.

What we offer for children at Core Dental Wyndham

• Gentle check-ups and cleans designed for children, from $80
• Digital X-rays taken at the lowest possible radiation dose
• Fissure sealants to protect newly erupted permanent molars from decay
• Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing teeth
• Early orthodontic assessment
• Parent guidance on diet, fluoride, brushing technique, and teething
• Happy gas (nitrous oxide) for children who feel anxious about dental visits

Specialist referral pathway

The Wyndham practice looks after a lot of families from Hoppers Crossing and Werribee, and the team is experienced in working with children at all stages. For kids who need specialist paediatric dental care, referrals to Core Dental Group's specialist paediatric dentists are available.

Child Dental Benefits Schedule – bulk billing

Core Dental Group bulk bills eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Children aged 2 to 17 from families receiving eligible Australian Government payments can access up to $1,095.60 in dental benefits over a two-year period. That covers examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, and extractions.

To check whether your child is eligible, log into MyGov (Medicare) or call the practice directly — the team is happy to walk you through what's covered.

HICAPS on-site

HICAPS is available for instant health fund rebate processing, so you pay only the gap on the day. No paperwork, no waiting for reimbursement.

Making dental visits work for kids

How a child feels about the dentist at age five tends to stick. The Wyndham team keeps the environment welcoming rather than clinical, explains things in language that makes sense to kids, and doesn't rush. If a child needs a moment, they get one.

For anxious children, happy gas (nitrous oxide) is available. It's a mild option that helps children relax while staying fully conscious, and it wears off within minutes of the appointment finishing.

All clinicians at the Wyndham practice are AHPRA-registered and members of the Australian Dental Association.

The practice is near Pacific Werribee Shopping Centre with on-site parking, and is a preferred provider for HCF, CBHS, and NIB, meaning families with those health funds pay less out of pocket. Orthodontic and periodontal specialists are also on-site, so concerns in those areas can be assessed at the same location your child already knows.
