Beginnings

What Is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a Medicare program that helps eligible children receive basic dental care.

Under the CDBS, eligible children can receive up to $1,158 in dental benefits over two calendar years for essential services.

At Colac Smiles, we can bulk bill Medicare, meaning eligible treatments are fully covered with no gap to pay.

How to Use Your Child’s CDBS at Colac Smiles

Getting started is easy:

  1. Book an appointment with Colac Smiles

  2. Bring your child’s Medicare card

  3. We’ll check CDBS eligibility for you

  4. Eligible treatments are bulk billed to Medicare

If your child has remaining CDBS funds, we’ll help you make the most of them before they expire.
