11.01.2022 DENTAL TOURISM Think twice before going overseas for dental treatment. Some Aussies consider having treatment overseas to have a holiday at the same time, instead of having it done at home. Is it worth the risk? We don't think so.

If you haven't use your Health Fund Benefits yet, be sure to book in to examine your oral health as the benefits don't roll over to next year. Send us a message or call us at (08) 8632 4065 to arrange an appointment.
