New survey results from the ADA reveal just how deep the confusion runs around the Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Despite the fact that 2.6 million children are eligible annually for free dental treatment under the CDBS, only 36% actually use the scheme. That’s over 1.59 million children missing out on essential check-ups and care. This is simply because their parents don’t know what’s available, or falsely believe they don’t qualify.
