Dental care to support patients at every stage of life at Smile On Camp Hill.
Infants
Early dental care plays an important role in your child’s development. Baby teeth can begin to appear from around 4 to 10 months of age, although timing varies between children.
It is generally recommended that children attend a dental visit once their first tooth appears, or earlier if you have concerns.
At Smile On Camp Hill in Brisbane, we can provide guidance on early oral health and teething support.
During teething, simple measures such as chilled (not frozen) teething rings or clean washcloths may help provide comfort. If symptoms persist, you may wish to seek advice from a pharmacist or healthcare provider.
Common signs of teething may include:
- Red or swollen gums
- Increased drooling
- Irritability
- Chewing on fingers or objects
Children
At Smile On Camp Hill, we aim to provide dental care for children in a supportive and calm environment.
Regular dental visits help monitor development, identify any concerns early, and support good oral hygiene habits. We also provide guidance for parents and carers on maintaining children’s oral health at home.
Our Brisbane team focuses on helping children feel comfortable during their dental visits.
