Last week was Dental Health Week. Here are 4 things to do to keep your smile for life!

• Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• Clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushed.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit added sugar intake.
• Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and preventative care.

Did you know Oral Health Services Tasmania welcomes all children under 18 years of age, including pre-schoolers, for dental care? 

Services available include:

• dental check-up 
• any necessary treatment as determined by the check-up 

When you present your Medicare card, Oral Health Services Tasmania will bulk bill all dental care for children through the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule. 

Almost all dental care will be FREE if bulk billed.
