General Dental FAQs
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends that everyone visits the dentist for a check-up and clean once every six months, or at the very least, once a year.
This is because our oral health also has a huge impact on our overall general health. Thus, routine oral check-ups and cleans with your dentist are of paramount importance as any dental or oral problems can be established and addressed as soon as possible.
No, bulk billing of all general dental services is not available to all Australian patients.
The coverage on your dental appointment will depend on who you’re with and what your dental benefits with your insurance provider include. Typically, all patients that have met the Medicare requirements and criteria given by Medicare or the State Government, are eligible for at least some form of dental coverage. Children aged 2-17 are also eligible for Medicare dental coverage. You can visit our Child Dental Benefits Schedule page to learn more about this.
The short answer is yes. Unfortunately, there is a huge misconception that vaping is safer and less harmful to your oral health than smoking cigarettes or other forms of smoking.
While this may be partly true in other health aspects, studies have proven that vaping has the same adverse effects on your oral health as smoking anything else does. Thus, your dentist will be able to tell if you smoke or vape.
