HELPING LITTLE SMILES GROW BIG & HEALTHY WITH CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY
At Cowra Dental Practice, we love seeing our younger patients and helping them get excited about caring for their teeth. Great dental care starts early, and children can visit us as soon as their first teeth start to appear. Early visits not only allow us to monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums, but they also help your child become comfortable in the dental chair. By introducing children to the dentist early, we create a foundation of trust and familiarity that can last a lifetime, helping them avoid fear or anxiety in the future.
MAKING DENTAL VISITS A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
We know that a child’s first dental visit is a big step, so we work hard to make it a positive and enjoyable experience. From our friendly team to our welcoming environment, every detail is designed to help children feel safe and relaxed. We encourage parents to bring their children along to their own dental appointments so they can watch, learn, and feel more confident when it’s their turn. Our practice also features a play area for younger kids and a PlayStation for older children, making their visit fun from start to finish.

BUILDING LIFELONG ORAL HEALTH HABITS
Children’s dental care is different from adult care, taking into account a child’s age, development, and personality. That’s why we focus on prevention and education, teaching kids how to brush and floss properly, the importance of healthy eating, and how to avoid tooth decay. These lessons, combined with regular check-ups and professional cleans, help establish strong oral hygiene habits that can last a lifetime. Prevention also means early intervention—catching small issues before they become bigger problems.
AFFORDABLE & ACCESSIBLE KIDS’ DENTAL CARE
At Cowra Dental Practice, we believe every child deserves the best dental care possible. Many of our children’s dental services are eligible for government funding through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) for kids aged between 2 and 17. We also offer NO GAP check-up plans for patients with HCF or CBHS private health insurance. Our mission is to make dental care for kids in Cowra, NSW, affordable, accessible, and stress-free for both children and parents.
