Associate Professor Doctor Janet Wallace from the University of Newcastle drops by to chat with us about “SENIOR SMILES”, a program led by Dr Wallace that is working toward the ultimate goal of placing Specialist Oral Health Practitioners in EVERY residential Aged Care facility in Australia. These practitioners will provide oral health risk assessments, oral health care plans, oral health education, and develop referral pathways for residents who required more complex dental care.

All this, plus our regular news updates … So, make yourself a cuppa, put your feet up, and enjoy all that Radio COTA brings to you .. Please send us your fe
