Frequently Asked Questions About
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
At what age should I bring my child to the dentist?
To maintain a child’s oral health, they must be brought to the dentist early and often. Since the first baby teeth usually emerge between six and 12 months old, dentists recommend having your child visit at six months old. During their first visit, the dentist will evaluate their oral development and monitor if their teeth are erupting properly. The dentist will also educate the parents on how to brush their child’s teeth once they’ve erupted and how to clean their gums and tongue. Children should receive regular dental care. For more information about when to bring your child in, contact Brabham Smiles.
How can I help my child relax during dental appointments?
Children may experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist. You can do several things to help them relax during their dental appointment.
- Have them play dentist. Letting them assume the role of a dentist or a patient can help your child gain positive experience with dentistry before they visit the dentist.
- Be careful not to use dentists as a threat or a way to scare your child. Usually, this leads to dental anxiety.
- Do not bring them into the office hungry to avoid anxiety caused by hunger.
- Choose a children’s dentist who is experienced and will be able to make your child comfortable.
- Prepare your child for the procedure. Let them know what they can expect beforehand.

How does CDBS work?
What happens if I don't have CDBS?
If you don’t have a Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), you may still be able to get dental coverage through other government programs or private insurance. However, without CDBS, you may have to pay for some or all of your child’s dental care out of pocket. This can be costly, particularly if your child needs extensive dental work. In addition, without dental care, your child may be more likely to develop cavities and other dental problems. Therefore, it is important to explore all your options for dental coverage to ensure your child receives the dental care they need.
