Big Mouth and the Shiny Brights

Welcome to Big Mouth and the Shiny Brights, located at 183 Tynte Street in North Adelaide, Australia. Our institution is a dental and medical establishment that focuses on providing top-notch healthcare services for all ages. We are a trusted point of interest in the community, dedicated to promoting good oral health and overall well-being.

At Big Mouth and the Shiny Brights, we believe that it's never too early to start looking after your chompers! In fact, the American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommend scheduling the first dental checkup for children by the time they are 1 year old, and no later than their 2nd birthday. We understand the importance of early dental care and are here to support you every step of the way.

Taking care of your shiny brights requires a team effort, involving not only our dental professionals but also parents and guardians. From birth until 18 years old, we are your trusted dental training grounds. We believe that practice makes perfect, and no question is ever too silly to ask. We are always here to provide guidance and assistance.

Whether it's your child's first dental visit or you have questions about the tooth fairy, we've seen it all and are here to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If your child requires specialized care, we have a team of experts who will ensure that their cheeky chompers are checked without any fuss. No referral is required to receive our services.

At Big Mouth and the Shiny Brights, we offer a wide range of dental services. From fighting Sugarbugs with Princess Crowns and Tooth Fudge to restoring broken teeth, we can do it all. We have various techniques to make the experience pleasant, such as happy gas or special friends to help your child sleep away any dental anxieties.

While we encourage local visits and aim to work with your current dental home, we understand that some children may be nervous brushers. Rest assured, there is more than enough space in the Big Mouth family to accommodate and support them until they feel brave enough to face their dental appointments.

We provide comprehensive, specialist pediatric dental care for all children, whether they are fit and well or medically compromised with special healthcare needs. We can address dental anomalies, orthodontic requests, and any other concerns you may have. Additionally, we offer screenings for correct alignment of permanent canines and ongoing health checks for children aged 10-11 years.

Teething can be a challenging time for both babies and parents. While there is no "wonderfix," we have practical tips to help you and your little one get through this magical stage. By 16 to 20 months of age, your child should have all their incisors, canines, and first baby molars. Around 6 years of age, their first adult teeth, starting with the bottom front chompers and big back molars, will begin to emerge. This is an excellent time to check for any enamel defects.

The next few years are crucial for establishing a healthy relationship with oral health and preparing for their adult chompers. Each child's dental timeline may vary, and that's perfectly normal. If you have any concerns or questions, please give us a call. We are here to provide personalized care and support for your child's unique needs.

At Big Mouth and the Shiny Brights, we are passionate about promoting lifelong oral health. Our dedicated team is committed to providing the highest quality dental care in a friendly and comfortable environment. We look forward to meeting you and fighting for shiny teeth together!
