Dental Health

Tooth decay is the most common childhood disease in Australia, but it can be prevented.

• Regular dental check-ups can find and manage problems early.
• When we eat well, drink well, clean well and have regular dental visits, we are keeping our mouths and bodies healthy. 
• Avoiding too much sugar in our diet, drinking tap water (fluoridated if possible) over sugary drinks, and brushing teeth twice daily with fluoridated toothpaste are key to preventing problems like tooth decay. 

There are more than 50 community dental clinics located throughout metropolitan Melbourne and rural Victoria, where many children are eligible to receive free public dental care.
