Who is the kids dentist and what is her approach to children?
Your child will be seen by **Dr Chalita le Roux**, a general dentist with a BChD (cum laude) from the University of Pretoria (2020) and a member of the South African Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (SAAAD). She treats toddlers, school-going children and teenagers as part of a broader family practice.
Her approach is calm, gentle and explanatory. She takes time to show children the instruments, explain what will happen in simple language and involve parents in decisions. For many children from Wilgeheuwel, the first appointment is used to build trust, assess the teeth and gums, and create a step-by-step plan that suits the child’s personality and confidence level.
What kids’ dental treatments do you offer for children from Wilgeheuwel?
Most children seen at the practice need **routine check-ups and cleaning**, early cavity detection and advice on brushing and diet. We provide fissure sealants for suitable teeth, fluoride treatments where indicated, and tooth-coloured fillings when decay is present. We also monitor growth, spacing and bite development, and refer for clear aligners if this becomes appropriate during the teenage years.
If a child has toothache, visible cavities or chipped teeth from sport or playground accidents, we assess the damage and discuss the options with you in person. For nervous children, treatment may be broken into shorter visits so that each step feels manageable. Every decision about fillings, sealants or other care is made after a face-to-face assessment and a clear explanation of the pros and cons for your child.
How does a child’s visit typically work if we come from Wilgeheuwel?
When you arrive from Wilgeheuwel, you park inside Amorosa Office Park and check in at reception. We start with a conversation about your child’s medical and dental history, any previous difficult experiences and your concerns. Dr le Roux then performs a gentle examination, often using a small mirror and air spray, and may take dental X-rays if indicated and if your child is comfortable.
After the examination, you receive a clear explanation of the findings: whether there is decay, how the bite is developing, and what preventive steps are recommended. If treatment is needed, we discuss the sequence of visits, how to prepare your child at home and what you can expect during and after each session. Younger children are often scheduled for shorter morning appointments, while older children and teens from Wilgeheuwel may come after school within our weekday hours.
What affects the cost of children’s dental treatment and when do I get a quote?
The cost of kids’ dentistry depends on what your child needs. A routine check-up with cleaning and preventive care usually falls in the **$** range, while fillings, fissure sealants or more complex cavity treatment fall into **$$**. More advanced work, such as extensive restorations or treatment across several visits, may be in the **$$$** band because of the extra time, materials and lab work involved.
Factors that influence cost include the number of teeth involved, the type of filling material, whether X-rays are required and how many appointments we plan for your child. During your consultation, we assess your child’s mouth in person and then provide an exact, personalised estimate in writing before any treatment starts.

Frequently asked questions
How far is your kids dentist from Wilgeheuwel?
The practice is in Amorosa, Roodepoort, a relatively short drive from Wilgeheuwel via Hendrik Potgieter Road. Most parents travel straight along Hendrik Potgieter towards Roodepoort and turn off to Amorosa Office Park. Travel time depends on traffic, but many families comfortably fit appointments in before or after school within our weekday hours.
From what age should I bring my child to the dentist?
Many parents bring their child when the first teeth appear or around the age when all baby teeth are present. Early visits focus on getting your child used to the dental chair, checking growth and giving you brushing and diet advice. If you are unsure, book a consultation and we will assess your child in person and advise on the right follow-up schedule.
How do you help anxious or fearful children feel comfortable?
We use a calm, patient and step-by-step approach. Dr le Roux explains each instrument, shows children what will happen in simple language and works at their pace. For very anxious children, we may limit the first visit to a gentle check-up and conversation. During your consultation we discuss your child’s previous experiences and tailor the plan to suit their personality.
What kids’ dental problems should parents from Wilgeheuwel watch for?
Common issues include early cavities, sensitivity to hot or cold, dark spots on teeth, sore gums, bad breath and crowding or bite problems as adult teeth appear. If you notice any of these or your child complains of toothache, it is important to book a visit. At the consultation, we identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatment or preventive steps.
How much does a kids’ dental check-up cost?
Costs depend on what is included at the visit. A straightforward check-up with cleaning and preventive advice usually falls in the $ range, while visits that include fillings, sealants or X-rays are typically $$, reflecting more time and materials. If more extensive work is required over several appointments, this may fall into the $$$ range. You receive an exact, personalised estimate in writing after the consultation and before any treatment starts.
Can I bring more than one child from Wilgeheuwel to the same appointment?
Many parents bring siblings together from Wilgeheuwel. We usually stagger their visits within the same block of time so that each child receives focused attention, and one can watch while the other is being treated if this helps confidence. When you contact us, mention how many children you are bringing so we can arrange a suitable weekday slot during our practice hours.
Do you offer clear aligners for teenagers?
We assess teenagers’ bites and tooth alignment as part of their routine check-ups. If mild to moderate alignment issues are present, clear aligners may be an option. Suitability depends on the complexity of the case, oral hygiene and commitment to wearing the aligners. We evaluate this in person, discuss expectations and, if appropriate, explain the process and costs before any treatment begins.
