Did you know that your child might be eligible for the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Scheme? The Australian Government's Department of Human Services covers part of your eligible children's dental services which include examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canal, extractions (Note: some restrictions for their basic dental services may apply). You can claim up to $1,000 for each child over 2 consecutive calendar years which starts when your child gets their first dental service. This means NO OUT-OF-POCKET dental fees for you to pay!
