Primary School Mobile Dental Program

Free dental care

All children 0-17 years of age who hold a current Medicare card are eligible for free dental care provided by NSW Health at public dental clinics.

What to expect when your child visits a NSW Health Mobile Dental Clinic

At their first appointment children may receive the following care (if clinically indicated and the parents/carers have consented)

• a comprehensive examination
• dental x-rays
• dental clean
• fluoride varnish application fissure sealants 

If a child needs follow-up dental care (e.g. fillings), public dental service staff will contact parents/guardians  to discuss options for treatment. This may include providing further treatment at a local dental clinic.
