What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?

Treatments Covered by CDBS
- Dental examinations
- X-rays
- Cleanings
- Dental fillings
- Fissure sealing
- Tooth extractions
- Root canal treatments
Please let us know if you would like to use CDBS when making an appointment at Smiles in Currambine. Make sure you know how close you are to the benefit cap, which can impact your benefit amount. Our dentist will confirm your child’s eligibility for benefits during your child’s appointment. We will also discuss the cost of each treatment and whether it is covered under CDBS. You will be asked to sign a consent form if you agree with the services and price.
You will receive a bill for payment after completing your dental treatment. A CDBS claim can be made using the Express Plus Medicare mobile app, your Medicare online account on myGov, or a Medicare Claim form that can be mailed or dropped off at a service centre. Once Medicare approves your claim, the benefit will be deposited into your bank account.
