School holidays are upon us and it's all about the kids!
During the hustle and bustle of the school holidays, it is easy to become out of sync and a little relaxed with keeping up our oral health habits. When it comes to our little ones, it is especially important to maintain a good routine to keep their smiles healthy and bright.
During the hustle and bustle of the school holidays, it is easy to become out of sync and a little relaxed with keeping up good oral health habits. When it comes to our little ones, it is especially important to maintain a good routine to keep their smiles healthy and bright.
Children tend to imitate their Parents habits, so by teaching children the importance of looking after their teeth from a young age, you’re giving them the best possible start to healthy habits that will benefit them into adulthood.
The School holidays are the perfect time to bring kids in for their check up’s. When children have regular check up’s, they are more comfortable with visiting the Dentist and are less likely to be afraid of having dental treatments. The aim of the check up’s are to assess any dental problems at their early stages, give suggestions on managing any dental health problems and encourage better oral hygiene habits.
Dental caries or tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease. So regular check up’s should be a priority.
We still have appointments available during the school holiday period, book online or give us a call Today!

NEWS ABOUT THE CHILD DENTAL BENEFIT SCHEME (CDBS). WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING?
Maintaining and protecting the health of children’s teeth is one of the top priorities for any parent, so any help with managing the cost associated with the kid’s dental visits are always very welcomed!
For families who are eligible for this scheme, the most recent news from the Federal Government is good news.
The Child Dental Benefits Scheme provides government funded access to benefits for a wide range of dental services to around 3 million children aged between 2 and 17 years for treatment up to $1000. This includes inclusive benefits for oral examinations, xrays, teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment, fissure sealing, fillings, root canal and extractions. The CDBS is means tested, requiring a receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A or a relevant Australian Government payment.
Despite proposals to reduce the scheme amount, Health Minister Greg Hunt has reinstated the cap at $1000. These dental benefits should be used as soon as possible in order to be fully utilized.
If you have never accessed CDBS before, you may wish to contact Dental4U’s friendly receptionists to discuss the scheme and your family’s eligibility. If you are familiar with the scheme, now is the time to check in with us to make the most of your child’s balance!
