Support for eligible dental trauma.
ACC may help cover treatment for eligible dental injuries caused by accidents, sporting incidents, or some treatment-related trauma. Eligibility depends on ACC criteria and approval.
Accident-related injuries
Support may apply where a tooth or restoration has been damaged during an accidental event.
Sports injuries
Dental trauma from contact sport or impact injuries can often require urgent attention and follow-up care.
Treatment-related trauma
Some injuries that occur as a direct result of treatment may also fall within ACC criteria.
