Preventative dental care can make a big difference, for your health and on the hospital system. Every year, an estimated 87,000 Australians are hospitalised for preventable dental conditions like tooth decay and gum disease. These issues can often be managed early with regular dental check-ups, avoiding emergency treatment and easing pressure on public health. Since launching the nib 'no gap' dental network in July 2024: - Over 150,000 Australians have accessed preventative dental care. - Members saved nearly $40 million in out-of-pocket costs. - The majority of nib members live near a participating clinic, making it an accessible option for people looking to maintain their oral health. When dental issues are left untreated, they can escalate into both physical and financial pain. At nib, we’re committed to strengthening our offering so Australians can access the care they need, before it becomes an emergency.
