Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) at Avenue Dental
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
At Avenue Dental, we are proud to support families by offering services under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). This initiative, run by Medicare, provides eligible children under the age of 18 access to essential dental care, ensuring they receive the treatments they need to maintain healthy smiles. The CDBS allows for up to a set amount of dental services every two years, giving parents peace of mind when it comes to their child’s oral health.

What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a program funded by Medicare that helps cover the cost of basic dental care for children. Eligibility is determined by factors such as family income and other Medicare-related criteria. Once approved, eligible children receive access to a capped amount of benefits every two years, which can be used for a range of dental services.
At Avenue Dental, we make it easy for families to take advantage of the CDBS by bulk-billing eligible treatments, meaning no out-of-pocket expenses for you.
What Services are Covered Under CDBS?
The CDBS provides access to a variety of essential dental services, including:
- Comprehensive dental examinations
- X-rays
- Cleanings and preventive care
- Fillings
- Fissure sealants
- Tooth extractions
- Stainless steel crowns
Cosmetic or orthodontic treatments are not included under the CDBS.
