Different dentists charge different amounts obviously - we are currently paying $90 for kids per check up and clean and I paid $130. One filling for daughter cost $85 on top. For a family of four approximately $800 a year in check ups and can claim back normally 100% of this from private health fund - not this year for daughter as she will have exceeded 1500 max limit.

So on a postive note dental check ups and cleaning is a 100% recovery from my scheme - make me want to make sure I use this feature regularly!

Thansk Sandra,
I think it will be worth us getting private health care cover then. We have been quoted around $1400 per year for family of 5. If we can claim back $800 per year for dental it will make it worthwhile.
Can you claim for eye test/ glasses as well?

:D My daughter is coming to the end her brace time , luckily most of the work was done on the NHS (just). Still for the 4 appointments she has already had, having the brace removed and top and bottom retainers for the next 12 months it will cost us around 760:00 dollars.
