The total dental benefit is capped at $1,132 per child over two years and to access the benefits, certain eligibility criteria need to be met. If the full amount is not spent in the first year, it is carried over into the second year. Any funds not used by the end of the second year are forfeited.
Before beginning any work, your dentist will take time to inform you of the costs of any treatment so that you can spend your allowance effectively. We choose to bulk-bill on the spot through Medicare, up to the child’s benefit allowance.
