Can I use my CDBS benefit at a private dentist and then come back here?

Yes, you may choose to visit a private dentist to claim CDBS benefits.

We encourage you to use these funds at a Public Dental Clinic where your child will benefit from high quality oral health care and ongoing continuity of care. In addition, by using the Public Dental Service, you will be providing your valued support to ensure the existence of public dental services for the future.

We have been treating children for almost 100 years. Last year we treated almost 140,000 children throughout the state.

Our aim is to improve the oral health of all Victorians, particularly vulnerable groups and those most in need.
