Healthy habits begin with a whole bite

The Whole Bite Club is a free club for young children. We come to schools and early learning centres to help kids look after their teeth.

See how it works

Four parts to every visit

Every class gets all four parts on the same day.

  1. Play & Learn

    A 30-minute interactive show with puppets and big tooth models that gets the whole class joining in.

  2. Discover

    Children find out what their different teeth do, feel food textures, and try biting and chewing for themselves.

  3. Practice

    Small groups of four to six children practise brushing and flossing with an oral health therapist beside them.

  4. Receive

    Each child has an oral health check, including how their teeth bite together, and then takes home a free toothbrush + toothpaste pack. With consent, they also have a remineralising varnish.

Why schools say yes

  • Run by registered oral health therapists
  • No cost to schools
  • Linked to the Australian Curriculum
  • Free toothbrush + toothpaste pack

What the check-up costs you

If your family gets Family Tax Benefit Part A, the check-up is free. Some other Centrelink payments count too. Your child needs a Medicare card. Not covered? Your child is still seen on the day, at no cost to you.

The check-up is bulk billed to Medicare. You pay nothing.

Play a game

Brush along with the timer, or sort the food. Games take one minute.
