"Just over one-third of Australians are eligible for public dental services,
which provide free or low cost dental treatment.

Yet demand for these services continues to exceed supply. As a result, many
Australian adults face long waits for access, which can be up to three years in
some states.

So what’s going wrong with public dental care in Australia? And how can it be
fixed?"
