Child Dental Benefits

It is important to assess the growth of a child at an early age, around age 8-9, to ensure the proper development of the face and jaws, and to detect problems in advance and address any dental or facial abnormalities as soon as possible. In growing children, both upper and lower jaws are still forming and the bones have not yet completely hardened. The bones are more pliable and easy to alter.

Facial orthopaedics with functional appliances ( such as myobrace) can be applied to improve poorly developing jaw and facial proportions in all three dimensions. It is best to build the foundations in the correct positions. Some of the dental treatments for children aged between 2-17 years can be covered under CDBS, Medicare if eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), and can my child in Mildura be eligible at Deakin Dental?

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a Medicare program that provides financial assistance for basic dental services for eligible children aged 2-17 years. At Deakin Dental in Mildura, we can help you determine if your child qualifies for CDBS and utilize these benefits for a range of treatments. Contact our Mildura clinic to learn more about eligibility.

02. Why is early dental assessment important for children in Mildura, as mentioned on your page?

Early dental assessment, age 2 years and onwards is crucial for children in Mildura because their face and jaws are still developing. At Deakin Dental, this allows us to identify any potential issues with dental anomalies, diet, breathing issues, jaw growth and tooth alignment early on. Addressing these abnormalities while the bones are still pliable can lead to more effective and less invasive treatment options for your child in Mildura.
