Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) Newcastle

Affordable Dental Care for Children’s Healthy Smiles

The Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) is a government program that helps families access essential dental services for children. It covers a range of preventive, diagnostic, and basic restorative treatments, ensuring your child maintains healthy teeth and gums.

At Dentist for Chickens, we guide families through the CDBS process with gentle, clear care.

We review your child’s dental needs, explain eligible services, and provide treatment that keeps their smile healthy, comfortable, and protected.

How CDBS Helps

CDBS provides access to essential dental services for children, reducing out-of-pocket costs.
Understanding the process helps parents feel informed, confident, and prepared for their child’s dental care.
Your Child’s Step-by-Step CDBS Dental Journey

Step 1: Initial Assessment

We review your child’s oral health, including teeth, gums, bite, and growth. We also confirm CDBS eligibility and explain covered services.

Step 2: Preventive Care

This may include cleanings, fluoride treatments, and fissure sealants. We teach simple home-care routines for long-term dental health.

Step 3: Diagnostic Imaging (If Needed)

Digital scans or X-rays may be taken to check for decay, bite issues, or tooth development concerns. We explain findings in a clear, easy-to-understand way.

Step 4: Treatment for Dental Issues

If cavities, decay, or minor problems are found, we provide gentle fillings or extractions as needed. Comfort techniques and child-friendly anaesthetic options ensure a stress-free experience.

Step 5: Growth & Development Monitoring

We track your child’s teeth, jaw, and bite over time. Early intervention helps prevent more complex issues later.

Step 6: Education & Support

We guide your child and family on brushing, flossing, diet, and habits. This builds good oral health routines for a lifetime.

Step 7: Follow-Up & Maintenance

We schedule routine check-ups to maintain dental health. Ongoing visits ensure your child’s smile remains strong and healthy.
