Children deserve a dental experience that builds confidence, not fear. At First Choice Dental in Narellan, Dr Henry and our team create a warm, playful environment where kids feel safe — and parents feel reassured.
Starting early sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth. Here's what to expect at each stage.
We recommend your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. This gentle introduction lets us check development and helps your child feel comfortable with the dental environment.
From age two, we recommend regular six-monthly check-ups. These visits include gentle examinations, cleaning guidance, and preventive treatments like fluoride and fissure sealants to protect growing teeth.
As adult teeth come through, we monitor alignment and jaw development. This is when Myobrace early orthodontic treatment can guide natural growth and potentially prevent the need for braces later.
From first teeth to teenage years, we provide comprehensive dental care tailored to children of all ages at our Narellan practice.
Gentle examinations in a relaxed, kid-friendly environment. We take time to explain everything and make sure your child feels comfortable and in control.
A thin protective coating applied to the grooves of back teeth where decay most often starts. Quick, painless, and one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities in children.
Professional fluoride application strengthens tooth enamel and provides extra protection against decay. Applied quickly during a regular visit with no discomfort.
Removable appliances worn 1–2 hours daily and overnight that address the root causes of crooked teeth — mouth breathing, tongue posture, and swallowing habits — to guide natural jaw development.
Gentle laser frenectomy for infants and children with tongue-tie. Minimal bleeding, faster healing, and most babies can breastfeed immediately after the procedure.
When treatment is needed, Dr Henry uses gentle techniques and child-friendly language to keep your little one calm. Tooth-coloured fillings restore teeth naturally.
Dr Henry Mulla has been caring for children's teeth in the Narellan and Camden area for over 25 years. He understands that a child's early dental experiences shape their attitude toward oral health for life.
His approach is simple: go at the child's pace, explain everything in kid-friendly terms, and never rush. He uses a "tell, show, do" method — showing children the tools, letting them ask questions, and making sure they feel in control before any treatment begins.
The result? Children who grow up confident about visiting the dentist — and parents who feel reassured knowing their kids are in experienced, gentle hands.
The Australian Government's Child Dental Benefits Schedule provides up to $1,095 in dental benefits over a two-year period for eligible children aged 2–17.
We recommend your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help us monitor development and build positive associations with the dentist from a young age. These first appointments are short, gentle, and focused on making your child feel comfortable.
Myobrace is an early orthodontic treatment system that uses removable oral appliances worn for 1–2 hours during the day and overnight while sleeping. Rather than just straightening teeth, it works by correcting the underlying causes of crooked teeth — such as mouth breathing, tongue posture, and incorrect swallowing — to guide natural jaw development. This can potentially reduce or eliminate the need for braces later. Dr Henry can assess whether your child is a suitable candidate during a consultation.
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition where the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is shorter or tighter than usual, restricting tongue movement. In babies, signs include difficulty latching during breastfeeding, poor weight gain, clicking sounds while feeding, and maternal nipple pain. In older children, it may cause speech difficulties, trouble eating certain foods, and gaps between the lower front teeth. Dr Henry performs gentle laser tongue-tie release at our Narellan practice with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
Yes. Laser frenectomy is a well-established, safe procedure for babies and children. Dr Henry uses a soft tissue laser which offers several advantages over traditional scissors or scalpel methods: minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort, faster healing, and lower risk of infection. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes, and most babies are able to breastfeed immediately afterwards. Dr Henry will explain everything thoroughly before proceeding, so you feel completely confident in your decision.
Yes, we accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Eligible children aged 2–17 can receive up to $1,095 in dental benefits over a two-year period, covering examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals, and extractions. Our team can check your child's eligibility when you arrive for your appointment — just bring your Medicare card.
Whether it's a first check-up, a tongue-tie consultation, or a Myobrace assessment — our Narellan team is here to help your child smile with confidence.
