# Is Dental 99 suitable for children?
**Quick answer:** Yes, and there is no strict minimum age. What matters is what your child needs rather than how old they are.
Children are very welcome at all of our clinics. Many parents bring young children along to their own appointment first so the clinic feels familiar before it is their turn.
Managing their appointments
For children under 18, add them as a dependent on your account from Profile \> Dependents \> Add. You can then book and manage their appointments, complete their medical history and see their records alongside your own.
If your child is nervous
Tell us in the appointment notes. Our clinicians see nervous children every day and would much rather know beforehand. You are welcome to stay with them throughout.
Note: We do not bulk bill, but we are a Child Dental Benefits Schedule provider. If your child is eligible, you pay for the appointment and claim a rebate from Medicare using the itemised invoice we provide.
