"Walking together in kindness" artwork produced for Gold Coast Health by Riki Salam, We are 27 Creative.The Lift the Lip program is a simple oral health assessment that is completed by the Child Health Nurse and is aimed at children aged 0-4 years old. After the assessment, the Child Health Nurse will refer your child to Gold Coast Oral Health Services for a routine dental exam.
The program has been implemented to assist with the early detection of oral health problems and facilitate timely referral for a dental check-up.
Early dental visits can help to prevent and address oral health concerns, including tooth decay.
It also allows children to become familiar with the dental environment from a young age, resulting in positive dental experiences and outcomes for the child and family.
CDBS provides eligible children with free basic dental treatment up to $1000 per patient over two consecutive calendar years.
Benefits cover a range of services including examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions.
Benefits are not available for orthodontic or cosmetic dental work and cannot be paid for any services provided in a hospital. Family members cannot share entitlements.
The cost of your child's care will be bulk billed to Medicare with no out-of-pocket expenses.
