Choosing a dentist

Check-ups and prevention

Regular check-ups and cleans help find problems early, when treatment is simpler and cheaper. Ask your dentist how often you should come in based on your own dental health.

Children’s dental care

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule helps eligible families with the cost of basic dental care for children aged 0 to 17, up to a capped amount over two calendar years. Families are notified by Medicare, and you can check eligibility and remaining balance through your Medicare online account. Ask the practice whether they bulk bill under the scheme.

Fees and health cover

Ask for an itemised treatment plan and quote for larger work, and check what your health fund pays for each item number before you go ahead.

Registration

Dentists, dental hygienists, oral health therapists and dental prosthetists must be registered with Ahpra.

Before you book

  • Dentist registered with Ahpra
  • Health fund and on-the-spot claiming
  • Itemised quote for larger treatment
  • Child Dental Benefits Schedule accepted
  • Emergency appointment availability

Frequently asked questions

Children aged 0 to 17 may be eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule if the family receives an eligible payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A. Medicare notifies eligible families, and you can check through your Medicare online account.

Call your dentist straight away, as many keep time for emergencies. For a knocked-out adult tooth, handle it by the crown, keep it moist (in milk if possible) and see a dentist as quickly as you can.

Search their name on the Ahpra Register of practitioners at ahpra.gov.au. It shows whether they are registered to practise and any conditions on their registration.
