Trusted Children’s Dentist Prestons

We encourage parents to bring their children with them to our practice in Ingleburn from the time they are first born. Andrew Baderski Dental is focused on early prevention and addressing issues regarding facial growth and development from an early age.

It’s more than just your child’s teeth or dental treatments that we consider when practising quality children’s dentistry. Our dentist near Prestons also focuses on the care of their face, jaw development, tongue position, tonsils and adenoids, as well as their airways and quality of sleep.

No baby or child should snore. Snoring is a symptom of other issues, such as tonsils, adenoids, ear, nose or throat issues, sinus, etc. If your child snores, no matter how quietly, you may have a big problem on your hands. 

More than half of Australian children suffer from a sleeping disorder, and the effects can last a lifetime. Experts know that a lack of sleep leads to reduced IQ, developmental issues and can even stunt a child’s physical growth.

The brain needs oxygen, and poor airways can mean significant detrimental effects on learning as well as other health issues. Our dentist in Prestons knows that breathing and swallowing play a part in childhood tooth and jaw development, along with correct teeth and jaw position.

Here at Andrew Baderski Dental, our dentist in Prestons aims to get babies and children familiar with the dental environment and making our dental clinic a fun, safe, comfortable and interesting place for them to want to visit. Children are not born with dental health issues like caries disease or holes in their teeth. As a trusted dentist near Prestons, we want to help them to have healthy teeth and smiles for life through effective children’s dentistry.

Thumb sucking can be normal for infants, and most kids will stop by themselves. If this continues, it should be looked at by our dentist near Prestons, as it can be a sign of more complex problems, particularly relating to airway issues. Our dentist near Prestons believe that bite problems and crooked teeth may also become issues as a result of prolonged thumb sucking.

As well as our dedicated dentist in Prestons, we also have friendly dental hygienists trained in providing high quality service and who have specifically studied to perform the following dental care to both children and adults:

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) commenced on 1 January 2014 and provides access to benefits for basic dental services from your preferred providers or dental clinic to around 3.4 million children aged 2-17 years. It replaces the previous Medicare Teen Dental Plan (MTDP).

The total benefit entitlement is capped at $1,000 per child over a two calendar year period. The CDBS requires receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A (FTB-A) or a relevant Australian Government payment. Eligibility will be determined each calendar year.

The CDBS provides individual benefits for a range of services including examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions. Benefits are not available for orthodontic or cosmetic dental work and will not be paid for any services provided in a hospital.

Not all dental procedures and services provided by our dentist in Prestons are fully rebated under this scheme, and some gap payment may be necessary for some services.
