Funded Activity Summary

Residents of rural and remote NSW have more extractions, less focus on preventive oral heath care and lower dental satisfaction scores than metropolitan residents. There are fewer dentists in rural areas and waiting lists are lengthy. The profession must optimise the use of its limited resources in such areas to maximise the oral health care of residents. The opinions of rural and remote residents have not been considered previously. This project will determine individual and community perceptions of oral health to inform the development of a community-centred oral health program.
