Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is an Australian Government program that helps eligible children access essential dental care through Medicare.

Eligible children may receive up to the available Medicare benefit over the applicable benefit period for a range of preventive and basic dental treatments.

Our friendly team can help you understand your eligibility, explain your available benefits and guide you through the process, making dental visits simple and stress-free for both parents and children.

Children may be eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule if they:

• Meet the age requirements set by Medicare
• Receive an eligible Australian Government payment, or are part of a family receiving one
• Meet Medicare's eligibility criteria

If you're unsure whether your child qualifies, our team can help you check eligibility before your appointment.

Regular dental check-ups help children develop healthy oral habits while allowing dental concerns to be identified early.

• Prevent tooth decay
• Monitor dental development
• Encourage healthy brushing habits
• Detect potential orthodontic concerns
• Reduce the need for more complex treatment later

Our goal is to create positive dental experiences that build confidence and support lifelong oral health.

Every child is different, so we take a gentle and personalised approach.
