Questions for Your Alstonville Dentist
Our team at Daley Street Dental is always available to answer your questions and address your smile-related concerns. Below are some of the most common questions our patients have. If your question isn't answered here, we encourage you to contact our clinic so we can help you better understand your dental care.
Children's Dentistry
Yes, we love kids! All of our dentists have a minimum of 10 years of experience in dentistry, and we all have kids of our own. We love to provide a positive experience for children and their families, and we strive to make each visit comfortable and fun for children and parents alike.
Fun Children's Dentistry in Alstonville
We enjoy helping children and their families better understand dental care and how to keep their smiles healthy and strong. Our dentists and hygienists use kid-friendly language, toys and visuals to explain different aspects of dental care to children, such as brushing and flossing. We can even make twisty animal balloons!
Child Dental Benefits Scheme
We provide a wide range of services for children and accept Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) if your child is eligible, which is $1000 every two years covered by Medicare for general dental treatment. We invite you to call us to learn more about these benefits and how your child can receive affordable, high-quality dental care.

You may think baby teeth don’t matter because they fall out anyway and are replaced with adult teeth.
However, baby teeth have benefits you may not have considered.
For example:
- Baby teeth hold the proper space for adult teeth to erupt correctly.
- Baby teeth help your child learn to chew and speak.
- Baby teeth prevent tooth migration.
Caring for Baby Teeth
We understand that some kids are fussy about brushing, but our children’s dentist in Alstonville can work with you and help build strategies to improve your little one’s oral hygiene between check-ups.
At some point, we can even apply fissure sealants to their teeth to reduce the risk of cavities. The dentist applies the sealant to the chewing surfaces of teeth. After they seal, they create a barrier between your child’s enamel and the bacteria and tartar that lead to tooth decay, bad breath, gum health issues, and tooth infections.
We Care About Little Smiles
As a family dentist in Alstonville, we are passionate about little smiles and ensure kids enjoy healthy teeth and gums. To learn more about our approach to children’s dentistry or to book an appointment with the dentist, we welcome your call. You can also book a visit online.
Ideally, you should bring your child to the dentist around their first birthday or when their first tooth breaks through the gum. However, some parents and caregivers wait a bit longer, which is fine.
However, if you suspect anything amiss or want guidance through teething and pacifier use, we are happy to help.
Early dental visits consider the following:
- Oral Development
- Early Interception
- General Exam and Monitoring
- Guidance on at-home care
Eventually, early appointments evolve as your child grows. Before long, they’ll undergo periodic x-rays, teeth cleans, dental sealants and fluoride treatments. The dentist always shares all findings with you and lays out all potential treatment options if warranted.
Children’s Dentistry in Alstonville: Your Child’s Perspective
Our dental team takes the time to build trust with your child. We want to make them feel safe and welcome every time they visit.
Children tend to enjoy our team and the opportunity to catch up with us at every visit.
To help your child feel at ease in the dental setting, we recommend discussing dental care in a positive light and avoiding scary words like “needle.”
