Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
The CDBS is a government program that provides eligible children with up to $1,095 in dental benefits over two years for basic dental services.
Children aged 0–17 years may qualify if their family receives certain Medicare benefits, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A.
The program covers check-ups, cleans, X-rays, fissure sealants, fillings, and extractions. It does not cover cosmetic or orthodontic treatments.
Yes. Eligibility is linked to Medicare, so your child must be enrolled.
If your child is eligible and the treatment cost is within the CDBS limit, there is no out-of-pocket cost at participating dental clinics.
You can log in to your MyGov account or call Medicare. Our clinic can also help check your child's eligibility at the time of booking.
If treatment goes beyond the $1,095 cap, you can pay the balance privately or use health fund coverage if available.
No. Only participating dentists who accept CDBS bulk-billing can provide treatment under this program. Be sure to confirm before booking.
Even with free kids' dental, it's best to have regular 6-monthly check-ups to prevent problems and keep their smile healthy.
