Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) 

At MODA, we are committed to providing quality dental care to children aged 2 to 17 years through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). This Australian Government initiative helps eligible families access essential dental services at no out-of-pocket cost.

At MODA, we are committed to helping your child develop a positive relationship with their dental care and build a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

If you’re looking for a dental clinic that understands and values the unique needs of children, contact us today to schedule an appointment or learn more about our children’s dentistry services.

What is the CDBS?

The CDBS offers eligible children access to up to $1,132 in dental benefits over two consecutive calendar years. This funding covers a range of basic dental services, ensuring that your child’s oral health is well-maintained.

Who is Eligible?:
Your child may be eligible for the CDBS if they:
  • Are aged 2 to 17 years.
  • Are eligible for Medicare.
  • Are part of a family receiving certain Australian Government payments, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A.

Eligibility is assessed annually, and if your child qualifies, you’ll receive a letter or notification through your myGov account.

What Services Are Covered?:
The CDBS covers a variety of general dental services, including:
  • Check-ups and exams
  • Cleanings and fluoride treatments
  • Fillings and restorations
  • X-rays
  • Fissure sealing
  • Extractions
  • Root canals (if clinically necessary)

Please note that the CDBS does not cover:

  • Orthodontics
  • Cosmetic dental services
  • Dental services provided under general anaesthesia
