Child Dental Benefits Schedule - Ropes Crossing Dental & Implant Centre

Depending on your eligibility, your child may be able to access Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS), which helps cover the cost of essential dental care. This program supports families by reducing out-of-pocket expenses for a range of important dental treatments, ensuring essential care remains accessible, and professionally delivered to families locally.

The CDBS is available for eligible Medicare card holders aged 2–17 years who meet certain government payment requirements. It may also apply if a parent or guardian receives eligible government benefits for at least part of the year.

Under this scheme, up to $1158 can be used over a two-calendar-year period for services such as dental check-ups, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canal treatments, and extractions. The benefit can be used all at once in the first year or spread across both years, depending on your child’s needs.

If you are unsure whether your child qualifies for the CDBS, our team is here to help. Contact us and we will gladly guide you through the eligibility process and support you in accessing the care your child needs.
