Public dental question (NSW)
I have a health care card from my JobSeeker until Jan 2027. I am currently in a world of pain from my teeth. I can’t eat properly on that side of my mouth (or rather, at all on that side, and not great on the other). I know from a private checkup with an x-ray and a CT a year or two ago that all 4 wisdoms need to go and are sideways. I also had a cavity at the time. I never could afford any work done. I had my throat swell up and it became harder to breathe, but that seemed to resolve itself and hasn’t come back. This was a few days ago.
Am I able to get public dental with a health care card that expires Jan ‘27 and how long is the wait list usually? I flat out am never going to be able to afford private dental and I’ve got defaults on loans so I don’t see a payment plan happening even if I could afford it, which I can’t.
