At Shuang Dentistry, we are passionate about providing gentle, compassionate, and comprehensive dental care for the entire family. Our kids & family dentistry services in Yishun are designed to create a positive and comfortable experience for patients of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. We believe that a lifetime of healthy smiles begins with a foundation of positive dental experiences in childhood.
We understand that a child’s first dental visit can be a source of anxiety for both the child and the parent. That is why we have created a warm, welcoming, and child-friendly environment where your little one can feel safe and at ease. Our team is specially trained to work with children, using age-appropriate language and a gentle touch to make their visit a fun and educational experience.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
The Canadian Dental Association recommends that a child’s first dental visit should occur within six months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by their first birthday. This early visit allows us to:
Check for early signs of tooth decay
Assess the development of your child’s teeth and jaws
Provide you with guidance on proper oral hygiene for your child
Answer any questions you may have about your child’s oral health
During the first visit, we will make every effort to ensure that your child feels comfortable and safe. We may start with a simple “ride” in the dental chair and a gentle examination of their teeth. As your child becomes more comfortable, we will introduce them to other aspects of the dental visit, such as a professional cleaning and fluoride treatment.
Our Pediatric Dentistry Services
We offer a full range of pediatric dentistry services to meet the unique needs of our young patients:
Dental Check-ups and Cleanings: Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing cavities.
Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay.
Fissure Sealants: These are a thin, protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings: If your child does develop a cavity, we use tooth-coloured composite resin to restore the tooth to its natural appearance and function.
Orthodontic Assessment: We will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and jaws and recommend an orthodontic consultation if necessary.
The Baby Bonus CDA: Investing in Your Child’s Smile
We are proud to be an approved institution under the Baby Bonus Scheme. This means that you can use the funds in your child’s Child Development Account (CDA) to pay for their dental treatment at our clinic. This is a great way to invest in your child’s oral health and ensure that they receive the care they need to maintain a healthy smile for life.

At Shuang Dentistry, we are more than just a dental clinic—we are a dental home for your entire family. We are committed to building long-lasting relationships with our patients based on trust, communication, and comprehensive care. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our practice.
