Guest JK2510 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi, Looking for a dentist that takes the Medicare dentist voucher for teens? Is it widely accepted or is it a rare thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest17301 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think they all do but dont go to Woodvale Park as I did and got ripped off (my fault for not specifying I only wanted check up) they did x rays plus fluoride treatment for my daughter ended up paying extra $150! DB Dental in Craigie was good, had my check up there....I think they all try to talk you into non essential work though to be honest, suggested I needed my wisdom teeth removing to avoid complications in the future...recommended having it done under general anaesthetic....theyre not putting me under when I dont have any probs at the moment! You can use that voucher at the school dental service in Kingsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 That's the thing...i only want essential work doing really...I don't want to have the wool pulled over my eyes! I wonder whether the one at belridge does...I think that's a school dentist. I feel really bad as this is one of the reasons we have not yet visited a dentist here...

Guest guest17301 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 We didnt go till we got extras health insurance from HBF. Just make sure when you go in you say youre on a budget, essential work only, no x rays as they bump up cost..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Aren't xrays part of the cover?? Surely they will only X-ray you upon 1st visit and if you have toothache etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest17301 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Depends on your cover I think. They x rayed me routinely on my first visit but I didnt ask them not to. OH asked for no x rays, they were going to x ray him even though his teeth looked fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
