The School Dental Service is in an old building and sorely needs more funding from the Government to keep providing the excellent service that they do. If you have a Health Care card your child can be treated for free, or a very nominal amount.

They run the programme called Miles for Smiles which have the appealing characters of Munch Girl, Water Boy and Brush Boy and there are messages about Eating Well, Drinking Well (water or plain milk) and brushing well. Children receive a lunch bag and drink bottle and a toothbrush and toothpaste.

I have found the staff here to be very friendly and accommodating and service was top notch.

This type of dentist is only for children up to year 7. Booking is a must and you will have to wait for 2 months for appointment as they are very busy. It costs 36.00 per child per year, very cheap. Dentists are usually students, very friendly and they make kids welcome and reward them with stickers. For primary school kids it is great start to get used to regular dentists visit. You have to pay for parking and do not expect modern clinic, it is very old building with toilets outside building.

Approximate cost: $36.00
