Canberra: Indigenous Dentists’ Association of Australia

This publication outlines the oral health goals of the Indigenous Dentists' Association of Australia to help close the gap between Indigenous and other Australians in oral health. The goals include community water fluoridation, increased Indigenous participation in the oral health workforce, a coherent Indigenous oral health promotion strategy and establishment of an Indigenous data set, and the provision of high quality, culturally appropriate oral health care to Indigenous people to be organised and coordinated regionally.
