Children's Dentistry
City Station Dental team look after children of all ages from 2-17 years old. Our aim is to provide the best first experiences for a child as this will be carried with them into adulthood. We help minimise anxiety at the dentist and attend to your child’s needs in a fun and healthy way!

and all can be bulk billed under the Medicare Children’s dental benefit scheme if your kids are eligible! Call us to find out if they are!
PRIMARY TEETH ERUPTION & LOSS
By the age of 3 or 4, a child will have 20 baby teeth.
It is possible that this can change, as every child grows at a different rate. Some teeth will grow faster or slower than others. The same is true for the time when the baby teeth are due to fall.
The chart to the right lists the names of the teeth. The names are identical on both sides. This information shows when the baby tooth of the child erupts, and what year it is lost.
MEDICARE CHILD DENTAL BENEFIT SCHEME
This scheme is offered to children aged 2-17 years old only. It is a voucher given to each child valued at $1100 to use every 2 calendar years, that covers a child’s dental costs. If you don’t use the full amount within the 2 calendar years, you will lose the remaining funds. Medicare check’s annually if your child is eligible for the voucher.
*NOTE: This scheme is means tested meaning it is based on parental income. Check with Medicare if your child is ELIGIBLE for CDBS. Not everyone is eligible for this voucher.
