Australia - Sinking our teeth into dental care

Sinking our teeth into dental care
December 13, 2011 - 8:23AM
The Brotherhood of St Laurence based in Melbourne is one of my favourite non-government organisations. Not only does it provide services for the disadvantaged and vulnerable in our society, it commissions research to assist policy-makers in their work. It's a leader in its field.

Last week it published a report on dental care in Australia, End of Decay by Bronwyn Richardson and Jeff Richardson. It found a significant number of Australians cannot afford adequate care. Not only is this a major health issue it is also undermining our productivity with at least one million work days and 600,000 school days lost each year because of poor dental health.......

Fluoridated Australia.

  • That is shocking numbers to me for a 1st world country like Australia. Thank goodness for groups like the Brotherhood to help with making changes happen.
