Are your kids eligible for FREE dental care?
The Australian Dental Association recommends that children under 18 years of age should have their dental check-up every 6-12 months. To help parents give their kids a lifetime of radiant smiles and healthy oral habits, the government offers the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, which offers access to $1,000 worth of dental services over two years for each eligible child.
This means that your child’s dental appointments could cost you NOTHING.
Plus, it’s not just standard check-ups that the CDBS will cover; it can be used on a range of different services, including x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions.
Schedule a dental checkup for your child at Perfect Smile in Adelaide today.
Your children may be eligible if:
- They’re under 18 years old, and they qualify for Medicare, AND
- They or their parents get a qualifying payment from Centrelink at least once in the calendar year. Call us to find out more about the qualifying payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule is a government-funded program that provides financial support for basic dental services for children aged 2 to 17. The program is aimed at helping families access dental care and improve their oral health.
To be eligible, a child must be aged 2 to 17 and must be eligible for Medicare. The child must also be enrolled in a family that is receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or another eligible government payment.
The program covers basic dental services, including exams, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, extractions, and root canal treatments.
Each eligible child can receive up to $1,000 in benefits over a two-year period. The funding can be used for a range of services, and any unused funds do not roll over to the next period.
