Children’s Dentistry at Lorn Family & Cosmetic Dentistry Maitland
Children’s dentistry is positive and fun here with our team.
Your child’s first visit to our practice will be a pleasant and unforgettable experience. We pride ourselves on building a lifelong path to exceptional dental oral health. Our gentle team have quickly built up a reputation as being Maitland’s “kids whisperers”.
We strive to care for and treat your children like we would our own. The Australian Dental Association advises parents to introduce their child to professional dental care from two years of age.
Although children often do not need complex dental treatment as some adults do, it’s certainly crucial to start seeing dentists early. This will help maintain the health of their teeth into adulthood.
We welcome your child with a friendly, encouraging, calm and positive environment. Your little one will be spoilt and able to watch their favourite show during treatment. In addition they will also receive presents for being so brave. In some cases, we may suggest options such as sedation or general anaesthetic. This can help with the management of highly anxious children or those with special needs.
Free Dental for Eligible Children
Lorn Family & Cosmetic Dentistry loves treating our little ones and strongly supports the Federal Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Unlike many dental clinics, we promise to bulk bill all eligible children (aged 2-17) with no out of pocket expenses.
Grow up Smiling – Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS) provides eligible families up to $1052 worth of Dental Treatments for 2 consecutive calendar years. The CDBS has a means test, which requires receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A (FTB-A) or a relevant
Australian Government payment. For more information about CDBS feel free to visit:

Some treatments covered include:
- Dental check-ups
- Fillings
- Fissure sealants
- Scale and cleans
- Digital x-rays
- Extractions
- Root canal treatments
The government does not cover cosmetic or orthodontic dental work. However, at Lorn Family & Cosmetic Dentistry we offer complimentary cosmetic and orthodontic advice/consultations to improve the long-term health and appearance of your child’s smile.
To book an appointment simply give us a call on 4984 0141 and please let us know that you are eligible for the CDBS. If you are not sure, our friendly staff can assist you.
Not one of the 3.4 million Aussies eligible for the scheme? Not to worry! At Lorn Family Dental we have some incredible packages for all new child patients.
