It is recommended to see a dentist at least once a year. Regular visits allow you to keep on top of your teeth and gum health and identify any issues early on. Discuss the frequency of visits with your dentist as you may need more regular visits if you have at risk conditions or a family history of dental problems.
Yes, dental treatment is cover under the extras component of may private health insurance policies. The level of cover will vary depending on how extensive your policy is. Some may cover routine checks up while others will cover treatment work also.
The gap is the difference between what the dentist charges and what your private health insurance will pay. eg. If a dentist charges $120 for a service and your health fund pay $70 for that service then the gap would be $50. The percentage that your private health will cover will depend on your policy.
