About the event
Unforunately, due to unforseen circumstances, we have been notified that this event has now been cancelled
Oral health is fundamental to a child’s general health and well-being.
The Australian Dental Foundation is proud to deliver "My School Dentist" program, an onsite dental service which supports convenient access to "FREE" oral health care and education to children at kindergartens.
A child’s oral health is more important than you may realise. For two in five Australian children experiencing tooth decay in their baby teeth and one in four in their permanent teeth, it can cause significant pain, discomfort and embarrassment. And yet, there is no reason for them to suffer. Many aspects of oral disease – including dental caries – are preventable and can be treated in their early stages with routine dental examinations, preventive care and oral health education.
My School Dentist directly sets out to improve oral health outcomes and reduce the burden of poor oral health on children and adolescents, with a particular focus on lower social-economic, regional and remote communities. We operate as a fully functional, award-winning mobile dental team utilising quality mobile dental equipment and specifically formulated oral health strategies.
