We ensure your children have a great experience and in turn, will set them up for good dental habits in the future. And everyone leaves with a prize!!
Our resident Oral Health therapist, Helen Zhang knows the importance of a great first impression to dental when it comes to our children.
For this reason, Helen takes a gentle approach with the little ones and likes to let them explore, ask questions and have some fun during their time with us.
Taking a less clinical approach, the kids end up feeling at ease allowing us to examine their teeth without any worry. Helen see’s the children in a lovely tooth fairy themed room – equipped with the tooth fairy’s castle!

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a Medicare program that provides eligible children with access to basic dental services. Eligible children can receive up to a set amount in dental benefits over a two-year period for treatments such as check-ups, cleans, x-rays, fillings, and fissure sealants.
Children aged between 0 and 17 years may be eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule if they meet Medicare eligibility requirements and their family receives certain government payments. Our team at Ipswich Dental Care can quickly check your child’s eligibility during your appointment or over the phone.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule generally covers a range of essential dental treatments including dental examinations, cleans, x-rays, fillings, fissure sealants, and some extractions. Coverage depends on the remaining balance available under your child’s Medicare dental benefits.
In many cases, eligible children can receive dental treatment with no out-of-pocket costs through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Before any treatment begins, our team will explain what is covered and advise you if any additional costs may apply.
Regular dental visits help monitor your child’s oral health, detect issues early, and encourage positive dental habits from a young age. Early preventive care can help reduce the risk of tooth decay and support healthy teeth and gums as children grow.
