Am I entitled to free dental treatment through Medicare?

Patients who are under a care plan from their GP for certain medical conditions are entitled to over $ 4,000 of dental treatment through Medicare. These medical conditions include those that have been or are likely to be present for at least six months including, but not limited to:

  • asthma,
  • cancer,

To qualify, a patient must meet certain eligibility criteria and be referred by their GP to a dental practitioner.
