We understand how children’s dental needs develop and provide comprehensive care to young patients of all ages.
Get in touch with Albany Dental – the dentist Gosford parents trust.
It’s recommended that children start attending regular dental appointments once their first tooth has appeared. By the age of two, most children have a full set of teeth and need to see a dentist regularly for check-ups.
Bringing your child to our clinic from a young age helps them to develop great oral hygiene habits that’ll last throughout their life. Through regular check-ups, our team can monitor the development of your child’s teeth and jaws and quickly identify issues that need minor interventions like fillings.
We understand that going to the dentist can be a nerve-wracking experience for children in an unfamiliar environment. We aim to make your child’s trip to the dentist friendly and welcoming so they can have check-ups and necessary dental treatments feeling comfortable and confident.
For anxious patients, we take extra time and care to make sure they feel comfortable throughout the appointment.
Our skilled and experienced dental team offer an exceptional quality of care to our patients of any age. Whether it’s a general check-up or a dental procedure, at Albany Dental you can be confident that your child is in the hands of qualified and knowledgeable professionals. We focus on giving every patient a positive experience, whatever their age.
Kids’ needs for dental care naturally change as they grow from an infant into a teenager, and we’ve got the expertise to provide the right dental services for all ages. We can also provide emergency dental care, so if they damage a tooth whilst they’re out having fun, we can solve the issue quickly and effectively.
Parents of active kids will also love our custom mouthguard service – for growing kids who love to play sports, we can mould custom mouthguards that protect their teeth as well as prevent injuries and damage to the jaw, mouth, and face.

As a rule of thumb, the best time to take your baby to the dentist is once their first tooth becomes visible or they reach 12 months old – whichever comes first.
However, if you notice something that you think is out of the ordinary, it’s better to be safe than sorry and book an appointment straight away. We also recommend bringing the child in with you to family dental check-up appointments – that way they can get used to the sights, sounds and smells at an early age. We can even give them a ride in the chair!
To ensure good dental hygiene as they grow, it’s important that your children begin to take care of their teeth from a very young age. A helpful tip, if you are looking to motivate your kids to brush their teeth, is to make it fun and let them pick their own toothbrushes.
It’s also important to make sure that you, as their parent, are setting a good example. Brush your teeth at the same time as them or even turn it into a group activity for the whole family – this way, they start to understand it’s an essential task rather than a choice.
Being afraid of the dentist is common among adults, whether that fear stems from a previous bad experience or childhood trauma. However, no matter your own feelings about the dentist, keep things light around your children – never talk about your fears with them and don’t use dental visits as a threat to encourage better brushing.
Also, never tell your child that the dentist “won’t hurt” as this suggests it’s something they should fear. All our staff are warm and welcoming, and we’ll do our very best to ensure your child doesn’t leave our practice feeling scared or anxious.
There are many things we recommend that you do at home to take care of your child’s teeth. This includes brushing twice daily and replacing their toothbrushes every 3-4 months.
Your child can also start to floss their teeth from the age of 4, although you may prefer to do this for them until they’re a bit older. Make sure you book check-ups every 6 months as well so we can keep on top of any problems, like cavities, before they get worse.
