At Keilor Downs Dental we encourage bringing your children to see the dentist from the age of 2-3.  Waiting until they experience a problem, such as decay or a toothache, can mean that your child's first experience with the dentist is traumatic.  This may have a negative effect on your child's dental experiences in the future.

We are proud to support the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. From January 1st 2017, dental services are capped at $1000 over 2 consecutive years. The two year cap period starts when a child or teenager first receives an eligible dental service. 

Dental services include:

• Examinations
• X-rays
• Cleaning
• Fissure Sealing
• Fillings
• Root Canals
• Extractions, and
• Partial Dentures

The CDBS does not cover orthodontics, cosmetic dental work, or dental services provided in hospital.

Is your child eligible to receive the Child Dental Benefits Scheme?

If you have not received a letter from Medicare or Centrelink.  Simply bring your Medicare Card to your appointment and we can see if your child is eligible for $1000.

For more information of eligibility and qualifying we recommend phoning the Department of Human Services on 132 150 or visit their website https://www.humanservices.gov.au/
