Free dental care for children aged 2-17 with up to $1,026 in Medicare benefits
Free dental care for children aged 2-17 with up to $1,026 in Medicare benefits. No gap payments for eligible kids.
Our children are our future. It is important that we give them the best opportunity to succeed and this begins with their health. Dental health is crucial to their overall wellbeing and this should be a key focus. Besides being able to do everyday things like eating, speaking and smiling, a healthy mouth gives us confidence to succeed in life and reduces the risk of associated medical issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a government program aimed at giving children access to proper dental care. The government sends out letters to the parents or guardians of eligible children between the ages of two and seventeen. As Central Brisbane Dental is a Brisbane CBD Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) Dentist, bring this letter into the practice and your child can receive a range of basic dental services fully paid for by the government with no out-of-pocket expense on your part.
Start your child on the perfect pathway to a successful future by ensuring they have healthy teeth and gums for life. Let Central Brisbane Dental be your Brisbane CBD Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) Dentist.
