Which children are eligible for dental services?
A child is eligible if they are:
- eligible for Medicare, and
- aged 0-17 years at any point in the calendar year, and
- receive a relevant Australian government payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A, at any point in the calendar year.
Services Australia assesses a child’s eligibility from the start of each calendar year and routinely check for newly eligible children.
A notification of eligibility will be sent to the child or their parent/guardian either by post or electronically through MyGov.
It is optional for a parent/guardian or patient to present this notification to the practice at the time of the appointment.
The Importance of Kid’s Dentistry
Children need proper dental care as much as adults do. They are more at risk to dental emergencies and several dental problems that can have life-long effects.
Our dental team in Casula detects dental issues early and prevents them from progressing. Early diagnosis helps parents monitor their children’s health status. Underlying dental issues may cause severe general health problems if ignored.
Casula Dental Care is dedicated to educating children about the importance of dental health. It’s important that they learn to practice proper oral hygiene as early as one year old.
