Frequently Asked Questions

At Yarralumla Dental Clinic, we understand that you may have questions about your dental care. This page is designed to provide clear answers to the most common queries about our services, appointments, payments, and more.

Do you offer same-day appointments or emergency dental care?

Yes, we accommodate emergency dental cases and offer same-day appointments based on availability. Please call ahead.

Why are periodic dental checkups important?

Scheduling a dental checkup every six months is one of the smartest ways to catch potential issues early, before they develop into more serious concerns. During each visit, your dentist performs a comprehensive examination of your entire mouth, including your teeth, gums, tongue, inner cheeks, and soft tissues, carefully checking for any signs of concern or underlying conditions. While twice-yearly checkups are ideal for most people, those who are more susceptible to gum disease or tooth decay may benefit from more frequent visits to maintain optimal oral health.

At what age is it recommended for children to have their first dental checkup?

The ideal time to book your child’s first dental checkup is between the ages of 2 and 3, once their primary (milk) teeth have come in. Early visits to the dentist offer key benefits that go beyond just oral health:

  • They help your child become familiar with the sights and sounds of a dental clinic.
  • Your little one becomes comfortable sitting in the dental chair and receiving gentle care.
  • Most importantly, regular checkups from an early age lay the foundation to prevent childhood tooth decay and cavities, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Are same-day dental appointments available for emergencies only?
