Children's Dentistry
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) offers crucial assistance to eligible Australian children up to the age of 17 by providing up to $1095 over two years for essential dental services, including children's dentistry such as examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fillings, root canals, extractions, and more. This initiative aims to support oral health without financial strain for families receiving specific government payments. The CDBS ensures children receive necessary dental care, promoting overall health and well-being from an early age.

Bringing your child to the dentist regularly is crucial for their overall health and well-being. Early dental visits not only help maintain healthy teeth and gums but also establish good oral hygiene habits that can last a lifetime. Dentists can detect and address dental issues early, such as cavities or misalignment, preventing them from becoming more serious problems. Moreover, regular check-ups and cleanings can prevent tooth decay and gum disease, reducing the need for more invasive treatments later on. Dental visits also provide an opportunity for education, teaching children and parents alike about proper brushing, flossing techniques, and the importance of a balanced diet for oral health. By prioritising dental visits from a young age, parents can ensure their child grows up with a healthy smile and a positive attitude towards dental care.
