Turn dentist visits into a fun adventure! Eligible kids aged 0-17 get up to $1,158* in bulk-billed dental care over 2 calendar years with zero out-of-pocket costs.
Under the Medicare CDBS, we provide a wide range of essential dental treatments to keep your child's "sugar bugs" away and their smiles bright and strong!
We'll count their teeth, check their gums, and make sure their smile is growing perfectly during a gentle, stress-free exam.
Our special cleaning tools tickle the teeth while removing plaque, followed by a protective fluoride treatment to build super-strong enamel.
We apply safe, invisible "shields" (fissure sealants) to the back molars to stop food from hiding in the grooves and causing cavities.
If a sneaky cavity does appear, the CDBS fully covers gentle, tooth-coloured fillings and any necessary "tooth pictures" (X-rays).
Gentle & Fun Environment: We speak "kid"! Our team takes the time to explain every tool we use—like "Mr. Thirsty" (suction) and our "tickle toothbrush"—so your child feels brave, safe, and excited to visit.
100% Bulk Billed (No Gap): We bulk bill all eligible CDBS treatments directly to Medicare. If you have funds remaining in your $1,158 cap, there are absolutely no gap payments or hidden costs.
Building Healthy Habits: We empower your little ones by teaching them the best ways to brush and floss at home, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
Children aged 0-17 are eligible if their family receives certain government payments (like Family Tax Benefit Part A) for at least one day of the calendar year, and the child is eligible for Medicare.
Eligible children have a cap of $1,158 to spend on dental services over a two-year period. You can use the full amount in year one or spread it out. If eligibility continues, the cap resets every two years.
No, the CDBS is focused on general and restorative care. It does not cover orthodontic work (braces), cosmetic dentistry, or treatments done in a hospital.
You can check your balance via your Medicare online account (myGov), by calling Medicare, or simply by calling our clinic! Have your Medicare card ready, and we can check your eligibility and balance instantly.
* The $1,158 benefit cap is correct as of 2026. Restrictions and eligibility criteria apply. Benefits are subject to the Medicare Schedule. Please check with Services Australia or call our clinic to confirm your child's personal eligibility.
