A new specialised dental care regional hub in Bendigo will save regional Victorian parents time, money and hassle when it comes to their child’s dental health. The hub will offer a range of specialised dental care that not all general dentists are able to provide, including in areas such as paediatric dentistry, oral surgical care and treatment for children with special needs.
The new hub is expected to open later this year and will ultimately save families hours of travel time and will see more kids getting the specialist dental care they need closer to home.
Children can be referred to these new services through the Smile Squad program, which gives free dental care to government school students throughout Victoria. Smile Squad offers free dental examinations and treatment to children in Victorian government schools.
