Can I access my Dental records from another Dentist before my appointment with Dental4U?

Yes. Click here to fill out a form and return it to the other Dentist, or email it to us, and we can request your records on your behalf. 

Do I need to pay my account on the day of my appointment?

Yes. Payment is required on the day of your appointment. EFTPOS facilities are available for your convenience. Private health insurance claims can be submitted on the spot, with HICAPs. We accept cash, Visa and Mastercard. 

Do I need x-rays when I go to the Dentist?

There are multiple reasons why your dentist may suggest taking x-rays:

  • You have not had x-rays in the last 2 years;

  • You have a toothache;

  • You are undergoing Root Canal Therapy;

  • You need an extraction;

  • Other specific cases.

X-rays are a visual guide for the Dentist and without them, an examination may be incomplete and may lead to further complications. Dental x-rays are safe because modern technologies allow for an extremely low radiation. However, we still avoid taking x-rays on pregnant patients.

How often do I need to see the Dentist?

The recommended frequency is every 6 months. Regular visits usually include an examination, taking x-rays, a clean & polish, and fluoride application (if necessary).  

At what age should I bring my child to the Dentist?

Gentle & Fun Dental Visits for Your Child at Dental4U

At Dental4U, we believe a child's first dental experience should be positive, relaxed, and even fun! That’s why we recommend bringing them along to watch you during your appointment first. This helps them get familiar with the environment, making their own visits feel natural and stress-free.

When your child is ready—typically around age 2 to 3—we’ll gently examine their mouth at a pace they’re comfortable with. From there, we encourage regular check-ups every 6 months to keep their smile healthy as they grow.
