The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a government-funded program providing eligible children aged 0-17 with access to basic dental services. It helps families manage dental costs and maintain their child’s oral health.
At Pristine Smiles, we proudly offer bulk billing under the CDBS so you won’t be out-of-pocket for covered services.
