(Child Dental Benefits Schedule)
At South Tweed Dental, we provide Medicare Bulk Billing for all dental services that are covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Established in January 2014 to provide dental treatment to eligible children aged between 2 and 17 years (inclusive), this means that you will have NO out-of-pocket costs or gap payments for your child's dental procedures.
Your child may qualify for CDBS-funded dental care if:
They are aged between 2 and 17 years (inclusive).
You're receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or another eligible government payment (e.g., Youth Allowance, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment).
Your child is registered with Medicare.
Call us at (07) 5523 2888, and our friendly team can assist.
Under CDBS, your child can access up to $1,000 worth of general dental treatments within two consecutive calendar years, including:
Routine check-ups and professional cleans
Fissure sealants to protect back teeth
Fillings for cavities
Emergency dental treatment if needed
All these are bulk billed, so there's no gap payment.
We make dental visits relaxed and even fun, helping kids build positive habits early.
From baby teeth to teenage smiles, our team delivers gentle, age-appropriate treatment.

The CDBS is a government program that provides eligible children with up to $1,095 in dental benefits over two years for basic dental services.
Children aged 0–17 years may qualify if their family receives certain Medicare benefits, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A.
The program covers check-ups, cleans, X-rays, fissure sealants, fillings, and extractions. It does not cover cosmetic or orthodontic treatments.
Yes. Eligibility is linked to Medicare, so your child must be enrolled.
If your child is eligible and the treatment cost is within the CDBS limit, there is no out-of-pocket cost at participating dental clinics.
You can log in to your MyGov account or call Medicare. Our clinic can also help check your child's eligibility at the time of booking.
If treatment goes beyond the $1,095 cap, you can pay the balance privately or use health fund coverage if available.
No. Only participating dentists who accept CDBS bulk-billing can provide treatment under this program. Be sure to confirm before booking.
Even with free kids' dental, it's best to have regular 6-monthly check-ups to prevent problems and keep their smile healthy.
