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.
