My teeth are rotting i have 8 fillings required and i cant do anything about it, cost $3500 and every day i am in pain, if only it was treated years ago before it got serious..

It is a service every tax payer would use, why should it not be publicly funded.., preventative dental is a cheaper option anyway

Destists usually require around $450 for 20 - 30 min min here in brisbane, it takes me 3 months to save for a filling..due to the high cost of rents and housing unaffordability here ect, but guess thats another issue again

  Sorry to hear that, luke. Indeed there needs to be much greater emphasis on oral hygiene here in Oz. Many people around my age (mid-twenties) don't go for check-ups and feel they don't need to because they feel ok or haven't been taught to go by their parents. It's a sad state of affairs...
