Over 2 million Australians skip dentist due to cost, teeth rotting

More than 2 million Australians skip dental care because it costs too much. Dentists are calling on the government to release its delayed national plan to fix the crisis.

Why it mattersWhen people skip regular check-ups, small problems become big ones. Emergency dental care costs more and people miss work. A national plan could make dentistry cheap enough to stop the crisis.
