With school holidays fast approaching, now is the perfect time to schedule a checkup and clean for your children. And if you needed a few reasons to do so aside from helping them achieve and maintain proper oral health, we’d like to point out a couple of things.
A healthy smile begins with a child!
1. It’s the perfect time to ensure your child has a proper fitted mouth guard for sports. If your child is active in activities that may be hands on or contact driven, it’s important they wear a custom fitted oral appliance to shield their teeth from common injuries like fractures, chips and even knocked out teeth. We proudly offer custom fitted mouth guards in our practice.
2. We proudly offer no gap consultations through the Government Incentive Scheme for children in addition to other benefits. Did you know that under the CDBS your child may be eligible for up to $1000 worth of bulk billed restorative and general dentistry treatments? The CDBS proudly awards a government funded allowance to children between the ages of two and seventeen. Typically, a family is eligible if you receive Tax Benefit A. You can read more about this benefit here: http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/childdental
