It is essential to provide children a positive dental experience to ensure the best long term outcome and a good perception towards dentistry when they grow up.
Dentistry has come a long way over the past few decades. A major paradigm shift has occurred from aggressive, interventional dentistry towards preventative Dentistry, Including Children’s dentistry. At Brunswick Dental Clinic, we promote the idea of “prevention is better than treatment”, no matter from a clinical or financial perspective.
To ensure a positive dental experience for kids, our Pediatric Dentist focuses on preventive care and aims to avoid invasive treatments like fillings and extractions wherever possible. Since tooth decay is a common concern in childhood, we emphasise early prevention through oral health education for both children and parents, along with the use of fluoride products to help reduce the risk of decay. We also encourage parents to support brushing at home until around age 8, or until a child is confident and able to maintain proper oral hygiene on their own.
Thanks to the Australian dental healthcare system, the Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) ensures that cost will never be part of the equation for your child’s dental health. At Brunswick Dental Clinic, we completely bulk bill all eligible CDBS (for ages 2-17 years) claims. It means that parents do not have to pay for the dental work if eligible or within the claim amount ($1000 every 2 years).
Please contact us or visit the Department of Health website for more information on the CDBS. http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/childdental
