Dental Services

Kalwun Health Service offers an accessible and affordable dental service including screening, treatments and education programs at the Miami health clinic.

To be eligible for dental appointments at a Kalwun Health Clinic, you must be a regular ongoing patient of the Kalwun Health Service.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are more likely than other Australians to have lost all their teeth and have gum disease and are less likely to have received preventive dental care and more likely to have untreated dental disease (Jamieson et al. 2010).

Kalwun's dental service aims to improve overall oral health in our mob for children and adults alike and close the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians in this area.
