Yep my kids get free dental. And I pay $30 for every appt outside a) an emergency or b) their allocated appointments. And the most ill pay per child is around $200 a year. But if you have to go back say for a follow up from a previous appt it's free too.
The dentists are AMAZING they work mostly with children.
IF you are in NSW there are 'school dentists' that are based at a school and they will give kids up to 18 free dental treatment. But I'm not sure how you actually go about finding them because there aren't that many anymore. I used to take my kids to ours, but she wasn't very good so I started taking them to an actual dentist as she was only a dental therapist and they had bigger problems than what she could treat.
Ditto to what Trillian said. We were using the children's dental service in the ACT, which was great when we needed it, but it turned out it's a dental technician doing the work and not a doctor-level dentist. I was happy as long as it was just basic check ups etc, but for any other work I would find out what the options were - which could vary a lot depending on where you live.
