Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule is a dental benefits program introduced by the federal government for eligible children aged 2-17 years. It provides up to $1000 in benefits for a child over two consecutive years and contributes to the cost of the most commonly required general dental services for Australian children. Check your child's eligibility for CDBS at any of your local Dental Excel dentists.

Give your children the right start with CDBS

Childhood is one of the most important times for achieving and maintaining oral health. Healthy teeth and gums throughout childhood can lead to long-term health in adulthood.

To ensure your child receives the dental treatment they need when they need it, the federal government has introduced The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).

We extend a warm welcome to you, your family and friends at all our locations. Many of our patients have been in the Dental Excel family for years and we have watched children grow up with confidence in the dentist. Come and try the Dental Excel experience for yourself.

To schedule a consultation or family check-up dentist appointment contact your local Dental Excel location.
