What is
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?

Ellen Stirling Dental takes care of your children’s oral health requirements and accepts payments from the Child Dental Benefits Schedule in part or in full. This will offer your child up to $1,000 in payments that can be used for various dental services over the course of two calendar years.
