Dental treatment in Australia is undoubtedly expensive, but I do believe the costs are generally justified. Australian dentists undergo extensive training, and the high standards of care, cutting-edge equipment, and strict regulations all contribute to the quality of services provided. Maintaining oral health is an investment in overall wellbeing, and avoiding treatment can lead to more complex and costly issues later on. That said, the financial burden can still be challenging for many families.
To save on dental care, consider preventive measures like regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups, which can help catch issues early before they become costly. Many Australians benefit from private health insurance with extras cover for dental, so it’s worth comparing policies to find one that suits your needs. Community dental clinics and public dental services can also be great options for those eligible, offering quality care at reduced costs.

I find dental costs too high. I hate going to the dentist, so I haven't been in over 24 years. I have private health insurance with extras but never use it. I look after my teeth just fine without then telling me to floss.

I’m definitely someone who doesn’t go to the dentist on a regular basis, but I grew up with good dental hygiene practices and have had little to no issues with my dental health when I do go to the dentist. From my experience by practicing good dental hygiene (brush and floss twice a day) you can prevent a good deal of expensive dental treatments. I know people though who only brush their teeth once a day and rely on the dentist to maintain their dental health because ‘that’s their job’. Each to their own but in my opinion prevention is the best solution so if you take the extra couple of minutes each day you’ll be healthy and not have to worry about regular dental work
