Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

This government initiative helps eligible children aged 2-17 receive up to $1000 in dental services over two years. It covers essential services like checkups, cleans, x-rays, sealants, fillings, and extractions.
 
Your child may be eligible for the CDBS scheme if:
  • They are aged 0 to 17 years for at least 1 day of the calendar year
  • They are eligible for Medicare on the day of service
  • They are part of a family getting certain Australian Government payments
Wondering if your child is eligible? You might receive a letter, or you can check via your Medicare account, the Department of Human Services, or simply give us a call. We can verify eligibility directly.
 
To use the CDBS, contact us for an oral health assessment. We'll ensure your child gets the most out of this beneficial scheme.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
