Children's Dentistry
Since 2014, we have been lucky to have access to the Children’s Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS). This scheme offers eligible children $1000 to spend at the dentist over two years. The CDBS covers all standard dental services, such as checkups, x-rays, cleans, fillings, preventive fissure sealants and extractions.
Eligibility for CDBS
The Department of Human Services assesses the eligibility of your children. If you receive an Australian Government payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A or B or other benefit payments, your children may be eligible for care under the CDBS. You can check eligibility by calling the Department of Human Services or us. You will need to have your Medicare card handy.
Bulk Billing
We bulk-bill all children eligible for CDBS to keep the cost of children’s dental care affordable. As long as the $1000 limit isn't reached, there will be no out-of-pocket amount. We are provided with a Medicare schedule of fees that we follow when claiming children’s dental services. If you exceed the $1000 limit, we will give you a complete cost estimate before commencing any work. The fees for this extra treatment will be the same as those set out in Medicare's Fee Schedule.
Contact your Clayfield children's dentist on (07) 3868 2753 if you have questions about CDBS dental benefits for children.
