Providing Children's Dental Check-Ups in Cairns
Keeping Little Smiles Bright and Clean
At Cairns Precision Dental Group, we provide children’s dental check-ups to help keep your child’s smile healthy. Regular visits let us check how their teeth are developing, give gentle cleanings, and apply fluoride if needed. These check-ups also help prevent issues before they become bigger problems and make dental care a familiar part of their routine.
We understand that a trip to the dentist can feel new or overwhelming for kids (particularly if it's their first). That’s why we take a gentle, friendly approach to help them feel comfortable. We also guide parents on brushing, flossing, and healthy eating to support strong teeth between visits. Starting check-ups early helps build good habits for life.
Keeping up with regular visits makes caring for your child’s teeth easier. To enquire about our children's dental check-ups in Cairns or book an appointment, call us at (07) 4054 2203 or complete our online form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental check-ups necessary if my child’s teeth look fine?
Yes, regular dental check-ups are important even if your child’s teeth appear healthy. These visits help detect early signs of cavities, gum issues, and bite development concerns that may not be visible. Check-ups also reinforce good oral hygiene habits and allow for preventive treatments like fluoride applications and sealants. Regular visits support long-term oral health, making it easier to address minor concerns before they become more serious problems.
What if my child has a cavity during their check-up?
If a cavity is found during a check-up, the dentist will discuss treatment options based on its size and location. Small cavities may be monitored or treated with fluoride, while larger ones may require fillings to prevent further decay. The dentist will also offer guidance on improving oral hygiene to help prevent future cavities. Early detection ensures that treatment is more manageable and reduces the risk of complications.
What should my child do after their check-up?
After a dental check-up, your child should continue their daily oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing regularly. If fluoride treatment was applied, they may need to avoid eating or drinking for a short period. Any advice or recommendations given by the dentist should be followed, such as changes to diet or brushing techniques. Keeping up with regular dental visits helps maintain long-term oral health.
