What Is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a program funded by Medicare that helps Australian families access important dental treatments for children. It is designed to make sure kids get the dental care they need without putting extra financial stress on families.

Children aged 0–17 years may be eligible for CDBS if they meet the requirements. The benefit covers up to $1,132 worth of dental treatments over two calendar years. The great news is that most of these services are bulk billed, which means you don’t need to pay anything out of pocket.

The program includes essential treatments such as:

Regular check-ups and cleans to keep teeth healthy and prevent problems
X-rays to spot hidden issues early
Fillings to repair small cavities before they become bigger
Fissure seals, which act like a protective shield to prevent decay
Extractions, when a tooth needs to be safely removed
Root canals, only if absolutely needed to save a tooth

It’s important to know that braces, cosmetic treatments, or hospital-based dental care are not included.

At JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre, we have years of experience helping families understand and use CDBS benefits. We’ll check your child’s eligibility, explain everything clearly, and make the process simple and stress-free.

Check Eligibility

What Dental Treatments Are Covered Under CDBS?

CDBS is designed to cover the most important and basic dental services that keep children’s teeth healthy and prevent bigger problems later on. At JJ Smiles, if your child is eligible, these services are all bulk billed, so you don’t have to pay a cent:

Check-ups and cleans

Regular visits help keep teeth strong and catch any early signs of decay.

X-rays

These allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface, like hidden decay or developing teeth.

Fillings

Small cavities can be treated quickly and painlessly to prevent them from getting worse.

Fissure sealants

A protective coating applied to teeth to prevent decay in hard-to-clean areas.

Extractions

Removing a tooth if it is badly damaged or causing problems.

Root canals (for baby teeth)

Performed only when absolutely necessary to save a tooth.

What’s not covered: orthodontic treatments such as braces, purely cosmetic procedures, or treatments requiring a hospital setting.

At JJ Smiles, we always explain what is included before beginning any treatment. We believe in honest, family-friendly care where parents are fully informed.

Our Gentle Approach to Kids’ Dentistry

We understand that dental visits can sometimes feel scary for children — and even for parents. That’s why our team at JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre takes extra care to create a welcoming and supportive environment for kids.

We use a gentle, step-by-step method called “tell-show-do”. First, we explain what we’re going to do in simple words. Next, we show the child the tools or procedure in a fun and friendly way. Finally, we do the treatment carefully and gently. This helps build trust, removes fear, and makes the experience much more positive.

We also use child-friendly words, calm tones, and lots of encouragement so kids feel safe and confident in the chair. Whether it’s their very first visit or a routine check-up, we adjust our care to suit their comfort level.

Our focus is on prevention and building good habits early. We make dental care fun and educational so children learn how to look after their teeth at home. Our ultimate goal is to make every visit a positive experience, so children grow up with confidence and a healthy, happy smile.

No more dental fear — we make kids feel safe, calm, and cared for every step.
