  • For the best oral health, it’s recommended that you visit the dentist for a check-up and clean every six months. Regular visits help catch any potential issues early, support preventive care, and keep your smile bright and healthy. At each appointment, our dentists will examine your teeth and gums, provide a thorough clean, and offer tailored advice on how to maintain optimal oral hygiene between visits. This routine also helps build comfort and familiarity with the dental environment, making every visit a positive experience.

  • At Mermaid Dental Studio in Mermaid Beach, we recommend bringing your child to the dentist around the age of 2 Years Old. This early visit helps your little one get comfortable with the dental environment and creates a positive, fun experience. Starting dental check-ups at an early age not only builds trust but also sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy dental habits.
