This past week in Parliament, Anthony Cianflone highlighted an issue that sits at the core of what we do every day - the dental health of Victorian children and the work happening across our schools.
As a mobile dental service delivering care for more than 10 years, it’s incredibly encouraging to see this recognised at a state level. Our mission has always been simple: make dental care easy to access, positive and meaningful for every child.
Programs like the Victorian Government’s Smile Squad are making an enormous impact. Supporting more than 700,000 public school students is a huge undertaking. And with around 1.5 million young people under 18 in Victoria, it’s clear that the need extends beyond what any single program can deliver alone.
At Teeth On Wheels, we’re proud to already be providing care to around 25,000 children each year across 200 schools and 200 childcare centres. We focus on:
• creating safe positive dental experiences
• removing barriers for families and schools
• improving long-term oral health outcomes, especially in communities that need extra support
A big thank you to Anthony Cianflone MP for shining a light on the importance of children’s dental health and recognising the work happening on the ground. We’re grateful to every school that partners with us and helps bring care directly to their students.
There’s still plenty to do, but moments like this remind us that Victoria is moving in the right direction and that collaboration is the key to reaching every child.
