Children under 14 who live in the ACT or go to an ACT school can use public dental clinics. Teenagers under 18 can too if they are named on a Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card. It is free for children under 5, and for those under 18 named on a concession card. Children under 14 can use the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (a Medicare dental program) for free care.
