Understanding the Child Dental Benefits Scheme at Emerald Dental Care

At Emerald Dental Care, we believe that every child deserves access to high-quality dental care. That’s why we’re proud to support the Child Dental Benefits Scheme (CDBS), which provides eligible children with up to $1,000 in dental services over two calendar years.

What is the Child Dental Benefits Scheme?
The Child Dental Benefits Scheme is an Australian Government initiative that helps families with the cost of essential dental care for children aged 2 to 17. This scheme covers basic dental services, including check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and extractions, among other treatments.

Eligibility for CDBS
To be eligible for the CDBS, your child must:

• Be aged between 2 and 17 years.
• Be enrolled in Medicare.
• Meet specific criteria based on family income (as determined by the Department of Human Services).

Benefits of the Child Dental Benefits Scheme

• Up to $1,000 in Coverage: The CDBS provides a total of up to $1,000 for dental services over two consecutive years.
• Comprehensive Services: It covers essential dental treatments, including examinations, cleaning, fillings, and x-rays.
