Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS)

Stop Worrying About Dental Costs

As parents, we know that one of the things you prioritise is your child’s wellness, which does not exempt dental care. We also understand that child dental can be costly and make you worry. But fret not, because at Dentist Near Me Toongabbie, we extend our help with our Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS). 

Through this scheme, your little one can still receive the quality dental care they deserve at our clinic without having to compromise its price tag. 

What is the Child Benefit Dental Scheme (CDBS)? 

The Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) is a program funded by the Australian Government that provides up to $1,095 over two calendar years for basic dental services for eligible children aged 2-17 years. This means your child can receive essential dental treatments without financial stress. And with our help, you are assured that everything will be easier.

How Does the Child Dental Benefits Scheme Work?

The Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS) was put in place to provide free dental care to all children in the Western Sydney Area. For children who are qualified for its benefits, they can enjoy these benefits: 

  1. Free dental screening for ALL children at our clinic.
  2. Children eligible for CDBS will have treatment done under Medicare and have no out-of-pocket expenses at our clinic.
  3. Children who are not eligible for CDBS will be given alternative treatment plans to still be able to give them the care they need.

Child Benefits Scheme Eligibility

You don’t have to apply or register to receive a CDBS. If your child is eligible for the benefit, the government will send you a letter informing you of their eligibility. 

Your child can get CDBS when all of the following applies: 

  • they’re eligible for Medicare.
  • they’re between 0 and 17 years old for at least one day that calendar year.
  • you or they get an eligible payment at least once that calendar year. 

 

You can be either the child’s: 

  • parent, carer or guardian 
  • approved care organisation

What Treatments Can Be Done with CDBS?

  1. Full comprehensive exam, X-rays and a Clean.
  2. Fluoride treatment to strengthen all teeth and reduce the risk of decay.
  3. A parental and child education about how to brush properly, information on teeth progression, orthodontics potential requirements, and other information that parents are concerned about.
  4. Any required dental treatments, including fillings, nerve and root canal treatments, extractions, crowns, or any other treatment required are covered under CDBS scheme with no out-of-pocket expense. (CDBS ELIGIBLE CHILDREN ONLY)
