Question 1

Which areas does Pearly visit?

Accepted Answer

Pearly is a mobile dental service that visits schools, childcare centres and aged-care facilities across New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Question 2

Is the dental visit bulk billed?

Accepted Answer

Children who are eligible under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) can be bulk billed, so there is no out-of-pocket cost for the services the CDBS covers. Eligibility is confirmed before the visit.

Question 3

How do parents and guardians provide consent?

Accepted Answer

Parents and guardians complete a consent form provided through the school or centre before the visit day. The form collects contact details and any relevant health information.

Question 4

I got a call from 02 8735 8677. Was that Pearly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Pearly team calls schools, centres and families from 02 8735 8677, so if that number rings you, it is us. Our main line is 1300 130 131 and you are welcome to call back on either.
