“A year ago, my front teeth were over protruding which is quite a hassle, sometimes it’s painful and awkward while speaking. The treatment went smoothly and great. Issues with speech and awkwardness have gone. I’m happy with the result. It is better than expected. I definitely recommend MDC for a dentist in Box Hill.”

Am I eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?
The Federal Government wants all children to have access to basic dental care and treatment.
That is why it has developed the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
The CDBS essentially covers all the costs of most dental services a child might need, capped at $1013 per child over a two-year period (this went up from the previous cap of $1000 on January 1, 2021).
Your child may be eligible if they are between the ages of 2-17 and are eligible for Medicare.
You or your child also needs to be receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or another relevant Australian government payment (further details are here on the Services Australia website
FAQ’s
Children aged 2-17, who are eligible for medicare, may have access to the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. For more information talk to our friendly staff or visit the Services Australia website.
Even with great oral hygiene, it is common for children to have plaque build up and cavities. The earlier this is detected, the easier the treatment will be. Children’s enamel is very sensitive and prone to erosion. We can treat this with sealants to prevent the need for fillings. It’s also a great idea to start visits from a young age to instill in your child an understanding of the importance of dental hygiene.
