The press conference at the corporate office of the Dental Care Network was conducted by the Head of Operations and Strategic Planning. This conference gave us an insight on what has happened over the past year at the “Most Trusted Dental Network in All of Australia”. The head of operations stated that they are not only the most trusted Dental Network in all of Australia now, but they have also become the most trusted Dental Network in all of New Zealand”. Just like there are so many dental practices under this network across Australia, they also have many dentists under the same network in New Zealand too.
Having spoken about the annual growth of the network, the Head moved on to discuss about how sleep dentistry has made a foray into the Australian dental world. Since it is relatively new, many people are not taking up this procedure simply because they are not sure about sleep dentistry cost. He stated that sleep dentistry is a tem used for the administration of general anaesthetic to a patient before starting an invasive and/or painful procedure.
He also stated that more people are requesting dental help now, after sleep dentistry and IV sedation have become more popular in the dental industry. He confirmed that every single dentist in the Dental Care Network can now provide sleep dentistry to patients who are scared of dental procedures. He also stated that to do a procedure that involves administering general anaesthetic will be a little expensive; however, this should not put patients off from better dental hygiene. His assuring tone led him to tell those who were gathered that the Dental Care Network has now come up with financial assistance plans through loans to help patients deal with the financial burden more effectively.
The financial assistance given through MAC Credit is also in place to help parents who do not have a Medicare Child Dental Scheme. With this scheme, he stated, the cost of a dental procedure will be well taken care of by the government. This scheme which is also known as the Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) which is awarded to parents who are on Medicare support or even when the family receives Tax benefits part A. This scheme will make dental procedures for your children more accessible.
He stated that the benefits under this scheme provide dental assessments, root canal and extractions, fissure sealing, filling, dental x-rays and cleaning for up to thousand dollars for each child once every two years.
