The orphans of the COVID-19 response

Many will say there are bigger casualties, but when we take into perspective the fact that pre-COVID 70,000 Australians were admitted to hospital each year for potentially preventable dental health problems we know the impact is likely to be severe.


Lockdowns and closures of dental services for safety reasons, continued reduced operating capacity in some public dental facilities and increasing financial instability will take their toll on Australia’s dental health and in turn our health system, and it will affect the vulnerable in our society more than any other.
