I see telehealth but nothing for teeth health 🦷

Different sized artificial teeth for our dental students to use with their mannequins. And there were so many students hard at work in the Westmead lab today. ⁦@Sydney_Uni⁩

Just heard a candidate for election mention the importance of dental care. It’s a key issue for many voters, but not on the radar for the major political parties. But it can be if we make it.

No funding for a dental program for aged care residents as recommended by the Royal Commission.

[ANMF - Australian Nursing Midwifery Federation @anmf_federal]

Residents in aged care and their families should know where taxpayer aged care funding is spent. Mr Morrison and his government have been missing in action on financial transparency for aged care. Accountability on public funding - #itsnottoomuch to ask

[𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 🦷👨‍🍳🏃🏼‍♂️ @Matt_Hopcraft]

In news that will shock no-one, no additional funding for #dental care in #HealthBudget2022
Instead we see a 1 year extension to the National Partnership funding for adult public dental services at the same level it has been for about 5 years - so in effect going backwards.

Thank you Aged Care News for publishing the article on the need for improved oral health care in aged care.
Medicare covers every part of the body except for the mouth – and it’s time that changed https://t.co/pW6tpWeNWU via @Aged Care News

[Dr Nicole Stormon @NicoleStormon]

Since implementing the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, there was an increase of attending dental services by 8% in low income children. Do you consider this a successful funding policy? https://t.co/Ii4u5ip7ee

Dr Janet Wallace appointed Professor of Oral Health at the Sydney Dental School - only the third female Professor in its 120-year history

@2CC @AUS_Dental @StephenCena Thanks Stephen for the chat - hope your dental visit goes well 🦷#oralhealthmatters #adansw and #adanswandact

Residents in aged care facilities have limited access to dental services & experience poor oral health. The Aged Care Royal Commission recommending establishing a Medicare Seniors Dental Benefits Scheme to improve access for this vulnerable group.

[Kathleen Matthews @kma872091]

Effective advocacy for improving oral health across vulnerable populations is needed #oralhealthmatters #fillingthegap #adansw

[𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 🦷👨‍🍳🏃🏼‍♂️ @Matt_Hopcraft]

'Despite some improvements in the oral health of populations globally, major problems remain all over the planet, most notably among underprivileged communities of low- and middle-income countries but also in high-income countries.'

@TheHonestTooth @DrMuzz57 Congratulations Alex and the team

[Kathleen Matthews @kma872091]

Great reflection on health systems and dentistry - health systems don’t change unless those involved (providers and consumers) talk. Nice conversation starter @heikospallek

[Heiko Spallek @heikospallek]

COVID has shone a light on the inequality that exists within #dentistry and now is the time to look at how we can do better. For more details read my full Op Ed: The Orphans of the COVID-19 Response https://t.co/rtf1LuMKid
