Family Dentistry
Dickson Modern Dental caters to all people – Whether you are one month old to 100 years old; whether you have 32 (or more!) teeth or no teeth at all! Everyone deserves dental care.
We recommend that the first visit for a child should start soon after birth, so that the presence of tongue ties and lip ties can be detected and how that may affect breastfeeding.
Afterwards, we recommend having children come in yearly, even if it is just for a ride in the dental chair and a gift. We want to make their first experiences at the dentist positive and happy.
Though it is recommended to see your dentist every six months, as a minimum for everybody, we recommend at least a yearly visit, to ensure that any problems that are detected are kept small and easily manageable.
We cover almost every facet of dentistry and for aspects that we do not cover, such as implants, we will recommend the best in Canberra and co-ordinate with our preferred specialists to ensure the highest quality of care.
