Child Dental Benefits Schedule | Dentist West Ryde

Visiting your dentist from an early age helps you develop good dental care habits and oral health both in childhood and adulthood. At My Local Dentists West Ryde, we strongly support the government funded Child Dental Benefit Schedule that will significantly help reduce your child’s dental expenses, and at the same time, keep their smiles strong and healthy.

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule or CDBS is intended to benefit children ages 2-17 years who receive Government Benefits. If your children are eligible, they are able to receive up to $1,095 over 2 calendar years for preventative and restorative dentistry such as:

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule does not cover cosmetic dental work or orthodontics. In addition, it does not cover procedures conducted in a hospital.

Is Your Child Eligible for Child Dental Benefits Schedule?

Here at My Local Dentists West Ryde we bulk-bill all dental treatments for children covered under the CBDS scheme. To check if you are eligible or check your remaining funds contact Medicare or contact us on 9000 1283.

Keep in mind that the remaining balance of CDBS at the end of 2-year calendar period is not applicable beyond the relevant period. In addition, only the eligible patient can use the benefit cap. Any family member who is not eligible cannot share the entitlements of the Child Dental Benefit Schedule.

The $1,095 grant is applicable over the two consecutive calendar years, after the eligibility of the child is reassessed and if he/she is entitled to another grant. Dental services provided under the scheme will not contribute to the Medicare Safety Net or to the Extended Medicare Safety Net thresholds.

Please let us know if your child is qualified for Child Dental Benefit Schedule when you make your appointment at My Local Dentists West Ryde. CDBS is a great opportunity to help your child improve their dental habits and oral health.

Child Dental Benefit Schedule gives you and your child more great reasons to love dental visits and the benefits of having healthy, pain-free smiles.
