Children’s Dentist in Penrith
Healthy smiles begin in childhood – and so does trust. At Smith Street Dental, we believe that early dental care sets the foundation for a lifetime of confidence and wellbeing. From toddlers getting their first tooth to teens navigating orthodontics, our warm, family-friendly practice is here to support every stage of your child’s oral health.
Our clinic is situated in a welcoming, home-like setting that helps young patients feel at ease. We offer modern care in a calm, non-intimidating environment, using digital X-rays and gentle techniques to ensure your child’s visit is smooth and reassuring. Parents often say that once their kids visit us, they look forward to coming back, and that’s exactly how we like it!
A Dentist Who Truly Understands Children
Dr Bany Afjeh (Dentist) brings a nurturing, motherly touch to children’s dentistry. As a mum of two young boys, she knows how to speak your child’s language, whether that means soothing fears or sharing a giggle over silly toothbrush stories.
After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2012, Dr Afjeh has continued to pursue further education in family-focused care. She loves helping children feel proud of their healthy smiles, and she’s known for her gentle manner, clear communication with parents, and ability to make dental visits something to smile about.
Helping Kids to Smile Brighter at Every Stage
Our child-friendly dental services include:
- Dental check-ups and cleans to monitor development and catch problems early
- Tooth-coloured fillings for cavities, designed to blend in naturally
- Protective mouthguards for sports and active play
- Fissure sealants and fluoride treatments to guard against decay
- Gentle assessments of tooth alignment and jaw growth
- Invisalign® clear aligners and orthodontic referrals when needed
We also bulk-bill eligible patients under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which provides up to [MEDICARE CDBS] every two calendar years for general dental care. Ask our team if your child qualifies; we’re happy to help guide you through it.
Starting Strong With Healthy Habits at Home
Good oral hygiene begins early, long before adult teeth come in. We’ll show you and your child how to brush correctly, recommend toothpaste based on their age, and provide tips for managing diet and sugar intake.
Many parents bring their children along to their own check-ups first, just to observe. This friendly exposure builds comfort over time, making that first exam much easier when the time comes. We take a low-pressure approach, introducing tools and techniques gradually. Our goal is always to build trust, not just treat teeth.
