Child Dental Benefits Schedule

Here at St Marys Dental & Periodontics we will bulk bill Medicare for your child’s dental treatment if they are eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a government initiative providing $1000 of free dental benefits, over 2 calendar years, to children aged 2-17 years old who meet the eligibility criteria.

The CDBS provides individual benefits for a range of services including examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure seals, fillings, root canals and extractions. Benefits are not available for orthodontic or cosmetic dental work and cannot be paid for any services provided in a hospital.
