Dental Care
The School Dental Service provides free general dental care to school children from Pre-primary through to secondary school. Care is provided by dental therapists under the supervision of dental officers from fixed and mobile clinics located at or near to schools throughout the state.
The School Dental Service is primarily a public dental health program, with emphasis on prevention and education. The treatment is limited to general practice care and there are a number of exclusions, e.g. specialist services and general anaesthesia facilities. Treatment outside the scope of the School Dental Service is referred to other providers and any costs are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
Consent of a parent or guardian is a lawful requirement before a child can be treated. However, consent is not required before an examination.
