Dear Parents and Carers

DMMSG provides high quality, on-site, general dental care services to children aged 2-17 years.

Under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), funded by the Australian Federal Government, our services are at no cost to eligible students. We can provide dental services to eligible children who are covered under the Medicare scheme.

We provide children with essential dental treatment & education using the latest technology in portable dental units.

Our program involves:

  • Dental education about oral hygiene and the importance of maintaining great oral health
  • Comprehensive oral examination
  • Scale, polish and clean
  • Topical application of Tooth Mousse (decay prevention)

 

To be eligible for CDBS:

  • Children must be aged between 2 to 17 years old
  • Must be enrolled in Medicare
  • The family must receive Family Tax Benefit Part A 

If the child is NOT eligible for CDBS they:

  • Can participate in the dental education 
  • Can receive the Dental Service at a discounted rate of $79.00
  • If requested receipt can be given to claim on private health insurance.

You can check eligibility by going to My Gov, then to Medicare and then click on child or calling medicare on 13 20 11
