Children’s oral health is important. Unfortunately, dental decay is still a significant problem for many South Australian children. Dental decay can affect a child’s wellbeing and quality of life. It can lead to pain and many lost hours at school – however it is also a preventable disease.
All children from 0-18 are welcome to attend SA Dental and there are no out-of-pocket costs for most families. However, current data reflects only 45% of eligible children are accessing dental care and many families are unaware that SA Dental is available to them. Please see attached information.
