It's not just a dental problem
The first steps were taken today to integrate oral health more fully into general health in Victoria. A workshop was held at the Royal Children's Hospital, involving stakeholders from a broad cross section of health providers. The workshop - aptly titled 'It's not just a dental problem' - focused on dental caries in children.
The catalyst for the event was the visit by Professor Wendy Mouradian, of the University of Washington. She spoke of how she has played a national role in the US, calling attention to the importance of children's oral health and addressing oral health training needs for medical professionals.
It is hoped that the workshop will lead to developing an ongoing programme of collaborations. The workshop was organised by ADAVB member Assoc. Professor Nicky Kilpatrick.
