Although it was 20yrs ago I lost a lot of my back teeth and have spent an absolute fortune on my front teeth to keep them from damage done from school dentists and I know I am not the only one. I am sure times have changed but unless just for a check up I wouldn't let anyone but a trusted dentist do any work to my children's teeth. Teens are eligible for a voucher but that is only $180 so doesn't cover a lot and not much help if your children are younger. Where I work there is a community dentist but I am not so sure about that either. I know they are fond of removing baby teeth that are mildly decayed and could be repaired which is all good and well but then can create a crowding problem if back permanent molars come forward before the front teeth fall out and are replaced with adult teeth which then can cause a need for extensive orthodontic work years later when the front teeth come through all over the place. Sometimes the cheaper quick fix now can create all sorts of nightmares later.
