Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

The CDBS is a Medicare program that covers basic dental care for eligible children. To find out whether your child is eligible, call us on (07) 3350 6661 with your Medicare card close by and we can check within minutes. You can also read the eligibility rules on the Services Australia CDBS page.

Protecting young teeth

Back teeth have deep grooves that trap food, and fissure sealants can help seal them. If your child plays contact sport, ask us about a custom-fitted mouthguard. Our check-up and clean page explains what a routine visit involves for the whole family.
