As you probably have heard HBF is introducing a new member plus dental arrangement starting on 1st January 2019.
The Walk-in Dental Centre has been successfully been accepted onto the new arrangement so we will continue to minimise your out of pocket expenses.
We would like to say a big thank you to our staff for all their hard work. It was great to have some fun together.
Happy Holidays
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) was introduced by the federal government to provide dental assistance for eligible families.
A $1000 grant is provided over a two calendar year period to use on a range of dental services including examinations, routine cleaning, fillings, and root canals. This ensures your child’s teeth get the assistance they need.
To discover more about this beneficial program, and whether your child is eligible, call (08) 6161 6405 and one of our friendly team members will assist you.
Alternatively you can call Medicare on 132 011 or visit the Department of Human Services website.
Unfortunately dental accidents happen quite often in children and adults. Teeth can be chipped, cracked, or become loose following a fall, sports injury or another trauma.
We urge that you get them checked by your dentist as quickly as possible to minimise long term damage. If you’re unsure at all please call us at The Walk-in Dental Centre and we will be more then happy to help.
Toothache can be very painful. Adults and children can develop a toothache. Most of the time toothache can be avoided with regular dental check-ups. Consequently we advise booking a check-up so that any dental problems can be dealt with sooner rather then later.
Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes (roughly 30 seconds in each quarter of your mouth). This removes plaque, which causes tooth decay and gum disease.
The technique you use plays an important factor and our dentist will only be more then happy to help show you. Avoid using excessive force to avoid damage to the surface of the tooth. Also avoid using excessive force near the gums.
Flossing helps to clean between your teeth since brushing alone cannot adequately clean this area. If you’re unsure how to floss our dentist will be happy to show you. For large spaces piksters/interdental brushes are highly recommended to remove plaque and food debris.
Charity work is close to both dentists heart. They recently went to Guatemala to undertake a dental mission with a team of international dentists to provide dental treatment for poverty stricken families. Also in 2011 Karen went out to Peru and provided dental treatment to poverty stricken families and promoted oral health.
