Is dentistry covered by Medicare?

As a general rule no. There is however, a Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) where the Australian government has sent eligible children letters confirming his or her eligibility in the scheme. Each eligible child can claim up to $1026 over a two-year period, provided he or she is still eligible at the time of claiming the benefit. 

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
