Child Dental Benefits Schedule
As a parent, it’s understandable that keeping your child as healthy as
possible is one of your top priorities.
What is
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule, or CDBS, is a Medicare program that covers various dental procedures, such as examinations, routine cleaning, fillings, and root canal treatments, for children aged 2–17 years of age. If you qualify for specific payments, Medicare may cover some dental services for children in part or in full. Orthodontic and aesthetic dental treatments, as well as hospital care, are not covered.

- Dental examinations
- X-rays

- Fissure sealing
- Dental fillings
