Positive Dental Experiences for Children

At Dentists@Labrador, we help children build confidence with dental care from an early age. Our team takes a gentle, friendly and patient approach, so each visit feels calm, supportive and easy to understand.

From first dental visits and routine check-ups to preventive treatments and CDBS-supported care, our Labrador dental clinic supports families with practical children's dental care in a welcoming environment.

What Is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule, also known as CDBS, is an Australian Government program that helps eligible children access basic dental services.

Eligible children may receive up to $1,158 in dental benefits over 2 calendar years. This can help cover basic dental services such as check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canal treatment and extractions.

At Dentists@Labrador, we can help eligible families check their child's CDBS balance and understand which treatments may be covered before care begins.

Why Children's Dental Care Matters

Helping Kids Build Healthy Dental Habits

Early dental visits can help children feel more comfortable with the dentist and understand the importance of caring for their teeth.

Children's dentistry is not only about treating dental problems. It also focuses on prevention, education and helping families build healthy routines at home.

At Dentists@Labrador, we support parents with practical advice on brushing, flossing, diet, tooth development and when to book follow-up visits.

What to Expect at Your Child's First Visit

Your child's first visit is usually simple, gentle and focused on helping them feel comfortable.

During the appointment, our team may:

  • Check your child's teeth and gums
  • Discuss brushing and oral hygiene habits
  • Look for early signs of decay or tooth development concerns
  • Explain whether any preventive care may be helpful
  • Answer parent or guardian questions
  • Discuss CDBS eligibility if relevant

We take time to move at your child's pace and explain things in a friendly way, so the visit feels less overwhelming.

Who May Be Eligible for CDBS?

Your child may be eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule if they meet the required criteria.

In general, eligible children must:

1

Be Aged 0–17 Years

Your child must be between 0 and 17 years old for at least one day of the calendar year.

2

Be Eligible for Medicare

Your child must be eligible for Medicare on the day of service.

3

Receive an Eligible Government Payment

The child, parent, guardian or carer must receive an eligible Australian Government payment, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A or another qualifying payment.

You do not need to apply for CDBS separately. If your child is eligible, Services Australia usually sends a notification.

Our team can help check eligibility and remaining balance before your child's appointment.
