Dentists have welcomed the Federal Government’s dental care package and millions of children and low-income patients will be able to visit the dentist for free. Yes it’s a welcome move when you consider that more than half of all six-year olds have decayed teeth. “We have basically got to a point where we are looking at Third World conditions in a country like Australia,” Consumer Health Forum chief executive Carol Bennett told 'The Age.'
