Understanding your dental health-fund benefits before December
By Dr Sam Nguyen · AHPRA Reg. DEN0007654321 · 1 April 2026 · 4 min read

If you have extras cover with a private health fund, your dental benefits often reset at the end of the calendar year. Any unused amount usually doesn’t roll over — so December can be a good time to use what you’ve already paid for.
A check-up and clean is a great way to use your preventive benefit while keeping your teeth healthy. With HICAPS, you can claim on the spot and only pay any gap on the day.
