Improving access to dental care for vulnerable Australians
The ADA Dental Health Foundation improves access to dental care for Australians who cannot easily access or afford treatment.
Every day, people across Australia live with pain, infection, difficulty eating and reduced quality of life because essential dental care is beyond their reach. Through a national network of volunteer dentists, dental practices, community organisations and supporters, the Foundation helps connect vulnerable Australians with life-changing dental treatment and oral health support.
Established by the Australian Dental Association, the Foundation works to ensure oral health is not determined by financial, social or geographical circumstances.
