Child Dental Benefits Schedule for kids
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule provides up to $1000 every two years for each eligible child, covering examinations, radiographs, preventive services and treatment. It is means tested, and eligible families receive a letter in the post, usually in mid-January. The practice bulk bills all CDBS-eligible services, including examinations, hygiene appointments, necessary radiographs and restorations, so there is no gap payment for most of them. Children's dentistry is part of the practice's child-friendly approach, which focuses on building good habits from an early age.
Sedation for nervous patients
Nervous or anxious patients can say so, and the practice takes extra measures for comfort. Nitrous oxide, known as 'happy gas', is available. Intravenous sedation, called 'Twilight Sedation', can be arranged for patients who prefer it.
