Dentists reach out to remote Mallee communities

A number of dentists are preparing to take part in a unique program which will take oral care to northern Mallee communities using a fully equipped mobile dental unit. Their preparation for the Mobile Dental Care Program will start with a day-long training session to be held in South Yarra on 13 October. Places are still available for dentists to register for the session. The program is the result of a partnership between the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Dental Health Services Victoria and ADAVB.
