Dental tips for patients

The Dental Board of Australia (DBA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (APHRA) have developed important tips for dental patients to help ensure you are receiving safe quality care from your dentist.

The job of the DBA and APHRA is to protect the health of the public. You can check if you are getting safe care from your dentist by asking some key questions such as:

• Is your dentist registered?
• Is your dentist wearing appropriate clothing, mask and gloves?
• Does your dentist work with an assistant?
