Public dental is free for some. Children under 18 and adults with a Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Commonwealth Seniors Health Card can use NSW public dental: call the Hunter New England Oral Health Contact Centre on 1800 679 336 (8:30am to 4:30pm weekdays). Eligible children can also use the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) at private practices that accept it. For facial or neck swelling, bleeding that will not stop or a serious facial injury, go to an emergency department. Some specialist dentists see patients only on referral from a dentist; others take bookings directly. Check with the practice.
