Im a dental hygienist therapist & work in a surgery in adelaide I would say that the standard of dentistry is generally higher here than compared to NHS treatment I provided in the UK. We had a wait, watch & see approach which if im honest seemed to me like supervised neglect. I would always say that when your looking for a dentist ask friends & colleagues as they invariably will give an honest appraisal of a dentist they recommend. Plus it's advisable to do the research with the private health fund as many practices are preferred providers for companies such as Bupa &; HCF & the rebate will also be better. Often children included on a parents plan are gap free.
