Dental care
Oral health refers to conditions and health of teeth, gums, muscles and bone in the mouth, and good oral health represents overall health and wellbeing of a person. Dental diseases may impact a personâs appearance and speech, can result in pain, discomfort, embarrassment and also restrict the participation of a person in social settings. The dental care is also one of the essential parts of the health care system.
Australiaâs dental industry
The dental service industry in Australia is primarily privately funded in comparison with other health care services. The dental services in Australia include orthodontics, general dentistry, prosthodontist and various other complementary services.
In Australia, the expansion of the dental industry is supported by the private health insurance service providers. The patient who has private health cover regularly visits their dentist, and they are keen to undergo expensive dental procedures. In Australia, there are more than 1 million dental prescriptions that were dispensed in each year from 2013 to 2017 as reported by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
