What is Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS)?

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide financial assistance for basic dental services to eligible children. This program has the aim to support families by reducing the out-of-pocket expenses associated with essential dental care for children. The CDBS covers a range of preventive and restorative dental treatments, ensuring that children receive the necessary care to maintain good oral health.

Advantages

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) reduces out-of-pocket costs for essential dental care, helping eligible families manage the expenses of maintaining their children's oral health.

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS), while offering valuable support, comes with certain constraints that families should be aware of.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS), your child must meet several specific criteria. Firstly, the child must be between 2 and 17 years old for at least one day within the calendar year in which the benefits are claimed.

I’ll just start by saying thank you, thank you to the team at Your Family Dentist in Liverpool - from when you first walk in and are greeted by the always happy and always helpful receptionist’s to the caring and skilled doctors and assistants.
I brought my dad in at first because he was in pain, only to find out that he needed some serious work done. We were basically hand held and guided through the entire process with no details missed. The ladies at reception helped us with payment options. They worked with our hectic schedules, had a comforting setting ready at every visit and were just awesome altogether.
We are now repeating the same process but for my mum. I will recommend this dental practice to anyone that will listen. The owners are very involved and really care about safety and quality.
Thanks again team - you are truly appreciated 🙂

It is called Your Family Dentist and that's how they treated me like a family member.
Highly Recommended Dentist. Infact my family members are very happy with their treatments too.
I appreciated the warmth of staff and their professionalism. They treat you with respect, calm, and they actually listens to what you're saying and give advice you want to hear regards to your treatments. I pay my treatments as I go as I refuse to go on plan and they respected that.
My over revelations looking at My Family Dentist is they are a blessings by employing lots of highly valued skilled staff, and they created miracles to every patients that uses their services. What they did to my teeth should last me for decades to come 100%.

I had intended to leave a negative review because there were some serious communication problems and misinformation given to me by the lady on the phone which was very frustrating. BUT everything turned out ok.. I can’t fault the dentist, she was lovely, gave very thorough explanations and advice and she did a great job on my teeth.

I can't speak highly enough about Dr Shaveta and Dr Nick. They saved my back molar with root canal treatment when everybody else wanted to pull the tooth. Their staff, including Tracy, are so warm and welcoming. I have found a dentist for life! Absolutely wonderful dentists!
