Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS)
Your Child’s Smile Matters!
At The Country Dentist, we warmly welcome families and believe every child deserves gentle, caring dental attention. The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a wonderful initiative from the Australian Government, helping children aged between 2 and 17 years receive essential dental care in a calm and comforting environment.
What Does the CDBS Include?
Eligible children can access up to $1,052 worth of dental care every two years. Covered services include:
- Routine dental check-ups
- Gentle professional teeth cleaning
- Dental x-rays
- Protective fissure sealing
- Tooth fillings
- Root canal treatments
- Tooth extractions
Note:
Please note that orthodontic and cosmetic procedures, as well as treatments performed in hospitals, are not covered by the CDBS.
Is Your Child Eligible?
Families receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or other relevant Australian Government payments may qualify for this helpful scheme. Currently, around 3 million Australian children benefit from the CDBS. If you are unsure, our friendly team can quickly check your eligibility for you.
Convenient Bulk Billing
At The Country Dentist, we offer convenient bulk billing for all eligible CDBS treatments. That means no upfront costs for your child's dental care up to the benefit amount, making visits stress-free and accessible.
Act Now and Protect Your Child’s Smile!
We encourage our local Sunshine Coast community to take advantage of this generous benefit while available. Spots can fill quickly, so secure your child’s appointment today. Regular dental care now helps prevent bigger dental problems down the road, ensuring your child’s long-term health and comfort.
Is Your Child Eligible?
Building good dental habits from a young age is crucial. Regular check-ups can catch small issues early, keeping your child’s smile healthy and pain-free.
Common childhood oral health concerns include:
- Tooth decay
- Thumb sucking and tongue thrusting
- Lip sucking habits
- Early loss of baby teeth
Understanding Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
Baby bottle tooth decay (or early childhood caries) occurs when a baby’s teeth frequently contact sugary drinks such as milk, formula, juice, or soft drinks. Even breastfed babies can develop decay if milk remains in their mouths during sleep. Decayed teeth can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and infection.
