Making dental care more accessible

In discussions about healthcare, dental care is too often left out.

Yet, mounting evidence shows that oral health is a vital part of physical and mental wellbeing. Poor oral hygiene has been linked to a range of serious health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and infections. It can also significantly affect self-esteem.

Despite its importance, access to dental care remains a challenge for many Australians. The high cost of dental care is a barrier many people face, often causing individuals and families to delay or forgo treatment altogether. Preventive treatments, regular checkups, and timely interventions are frequently out of reach for those without private health cover or the financial means to cover costs.

This is where Dentacare steps in. Dentacare is a locally-owned membership-based service designed to reduce the financial burden of dental care. By partnering with a network of trusted, independent dentists, Dentacare offers members access to reduced-fee dental services.

Members pay a low annual subscription and in return receive discounted rates at participating practices.

Dentacare is now offering 10 percent off new subscriptions and 25 percent off new subscriptions for students.
