Child Dental Benefit Schedule in Dubbo
Free Dental Care for Eligible Children*
At Delroy Park Dental Care, we are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care for children. We are proud to participate in the Children’s Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS), a program designed to ensure that eligible children have access to essential dental services. We understand the significance of early intervention and preventive dental care in establishing lifelong oral health habits, and the CDBS enables us to support eligible children in achieving healthy smiles.
The Children’s Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) is an initiative offered by the Australian government, aiming to assist eligible children in obtaining necessary dental care. Children between the ages of 2 and 17 who are eligible for Medicare and receive specific government benefits, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A, qualify for the CDBS. This program provides benefits of up to $1,095 per child over a two-year period. These benefits can be utilised for various dental services, including examinations, cleanings, fillings, and extractions. For more detailed information, please visit the Service Australia website.
Through the CDBS, eligible children can receive vital dental care without incurring high out-of-pocket expenses. The benefits are bulk-billed, which means that most services are covered entirely, with no gap fee. This affordability and accessibility help families prioritise their children’s oral health needs. We recommend that parents check their child’s eligibility and keep track of their benefit balance to maximise the advantages of this valuable program.
What if My Child Isn’t Eligible?
If your child does not meet the eligibility requirements for the Children’s Dental Benefit Schedule, we are still here to provide them with excellent dental care as private patients. In such cases, it’s important to note that the treatment may be covered by your private health insurance. You may be able to recover a percentage of the costs from your private insurance company.
We encourage you to schedule your child’s next dental appointment with us at Delroy Park Dental Care. Our experienced team is passionate about delivering gentle and compassionate dental care for children of all ages. Together, we can ensure that your child’s oral health remains a top priority.
