State-Of-The-Art Dental Free For Kids in Queensland
Ipswich Family Dental is committed to helping establish strong oral health habits early in life. We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality dental care, regardless of their financial background. Our state-of-the-art dental clinic proudly supports the Australian Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which enables us to provide free dental care for kids in Queensland.
Free Dental Care For Kids
If you’re asking yourself, are dental check-ups free for kids? The answer is yes! Here at Ipswich Family Dental, we help Queensland families maintain child dental health right from the start. Our team is focused on providing compassionate care, preventive dental care education and creating a healthy relationship between children and dental care.
Benefits of Free Dental Care for Children
Here are just some of the many benefits of government programs that provide dental free for kids.
- Catch potential issues early, reducing the risk of more serious dental problems later.
- Promote positive oral hygiene habits from a young age, encouraging lifelong dental wellness.
- Reduce financial pressure on parents while ensuring access to professional care.
- Free dental visits also help children become more comfortable in a dental setting, lowering anxiety and promoting positive associations with oral health care.
Eligibility for Free Dental for Kids
Under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), eligible families can receive free dental care for kids up to $1,095 over two calendar years for basic dental services for each child. In order to be considered eligible:
- Children must be aged 0 to 17 years.

If you’re unsure about your child’s eligibility, the team at Ipswich Family Dental can help you check with Medicare and guide you through the process.
