Yep, fluorides are also widely prevalent, and also naturally occurring in water supply. Association is not causation.

This is a call for all oral health advocates to keep them accountable.

New PhD paper.
Dental caries preventive interventions for children were NOT cost-effective.
The 'catch'? Results sensitive to including other healthcare costs and time horizon.
Many thanks for my PhD supervisors.

"The Whole Tooth" captures the stark reality of unaffordable oral healthcare in Australia. Thankyou @rachelwithers.bsky.social for interviewing me and shedding light on this important issue, in the most recent The Big Issue.

Federal Budget 2025/26 failed Australians for #oralhealth.
FFA extended for 12 months at $107.8M, not INDEXED.
$39M reduction in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?
Australia clearly needs a Commonwealth Chief Dental Officer, with with relevant skills and experience in population health.
