Children's Dentistry Services & CDBS
At Gumdent Dental Clinic - Ringwood, we prioritise the dental health of your little ones. Our pediatric dentistry services are designed to be gentle, reassuring and effective in maintaining your child’s teeth and keeping their gums healthy as they grow.
We participate in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
We proudly bulk bill eligible children (aged 2-17) under Medicare’s CDBS program, covering up to $1,132 in basic dental services over two years . This means little to no out-of-pocket cost for kids’ dental treatments – ensuring every child can access care.
What's covered under CDBS?
• Examinations
• X-rays
• Cleaning
• Fissure sealing
• Fillings
• Root canals
• Tooth extractions
What's not covered...
• Orthodontic treatment (e.g, braces)
• Cosmetic dental work
• Hospital-based dental services
Important Note:
The benefit cap of $1,132 resets every two calendar years, but unused amounts from the first year can carry over to the second year.
