The Australian Government has confirmed CDBS will continue in 2017! This is good news for many parents – the CDBS covers eligible children aged 2–17, particularly those who might have trouble affording dental care without the program.

Every day plaque build up leads to tartar and stains that brushing can remove and prevent. Brushing correctly and regularly keeps your smile healthy and bright!
Fresh Breath!
No one loves bad or unhealthy breath (halitosis)! Brushing and flossing can prevent the bacteria that cause halitosis and tooth decay!
Healthy, Firm Gums!
Brushing mechanically cleans teeth, and where teeth meet gums; while flossing cleans between and below the surfaces. This helps prevent gum disease, serious mouth problems, and damage to your body.
