Children's Dentist Bendigo

Your children will feel safe and calm when they visit us, learning great oral care habits for life.

Quality Care From Our Children's Dentist in Bendigo

Set your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles when you visit our children’s dentist in Bendigo. 

Good Oral Health Starts With Exceptional Dental Care

One of the best things you can do for your child’s long-term health is to make sure they visit the dentist twice a year. Dentistry for children not only protects your child’s oral health but can also reduce the risk of health complications further down the line while protecting their baby teeth, adult teeth, gums and jaws. 

However, we know that going to the dentist can be scary for children (and adults!) That’s why we make sure to make your child’s visit fun from the moment they walk through the door. 

From our family-friendly waiting rooms to our caring staff, we will treat your child with compassion while showing them how to care for their teeth properly. If you need a dentist for children in Bendigo, call Martin Vale Dentistry today.

Starting good dental practices from a young age is crucial for a lifetime of great dental health, your child should have their first trip to the dentist from 12 months old and then every six to twelve months after.

Free Consultation

Terms and Conditions

A Free Initial Consultation at Martin Vale Dentistry is the waiving of the fee usually applied to an initial consultation appointment. During an initial consult, we assess your dental concerns, identify any risks attributed to your current dental conditions and provide advice and recommendations of what action (if any) should be taken. Where suitable we may provide photographs or additional printed information for reference. This value of an Initial Consultation is the equivalent of the standard fee for a consultative appointment, which ranges between $60 and $90.

Free Initial Consultations do not include radiographs of the teeth or associates structures. This process can be undertaken at your request, with applicable fees quoted for your approval, and payment required at the time of appointment.

Initial consultations can vary in duration depending on each patient’s needs and concerns, ranging from 15 to 45 minutes, at the discretion of our Dental team.  We are committed to answering all of your questions, and providing easy to understand, efficient and effective advice on the option available to you, and costs applicable.

The ongoing provision of Free Initial Consultations is at the discretion of Martin Vale Dentistry.
