At Epping High Dental, we love seeing kids from a young age. There is nothing more gratifying than the opportunity to give kids a positive experience that will set them up for a lifetime of good oral health.
Medicare offers up to $1026 worth of free child’s dental cover over 2 calendar years through the Child’s Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS).
Who’s eligible?
Medicare’s CDBS is for families who are already receiving other benefits, such as Family Tax Benefit A payments. If you’re not sure, ask us, We can help put you on the right track and tell you exactly who to call.
