Frequently asked questions
Do you offer bulk billing for children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
Yes, we accept the CDBS and can bulk bill eligible services for children aged 2–17 years. We’re happy to check eligibility for you.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
We understand that your child may be feeling anxious about visiting a dentist for the first time. It may be helpful to talk positively about the upcoming visit, avoid using words like “pain” or “needle,” and bring them along to your own appointments so they feel more comfortable. Our friendly team ensure that children feel at ease as much as possible.
What is a 'dental home'?
The dental home is the ongoing relationship between the dentist and the patient, inclusive of all aspects of oral health care delivered in a comprehensive, continuously accessible, coordinated, and family-centred way. The dental home should be established no later than 12 months of age to help children and their families institute a lifetime of good oral health. A dental home addresses anticipatory guidance and preventive, acute, and comprehensive oral health care and includes referral to dental specialists when appropriate.
