Expensive dental care worsens inequality. Is it time for a Medicare-style 'Denticare' scheme?

Retrieved on: 
Sunday, July 2, 2023

Private dental care is increasingly unaffordable, and millions of Australians go without the treatment they need.

Key Points: 
  • Private dental care is increasingly unaffordable, and millions of Australians go without the treatment they need.
  • The potentially avoidable costs to the health-care system and to people’s quality of life has led to increased pressure for a Medicare-style universal insurance scheme for dental care (Denticare) or the inclusion of dental care into Medicare.
  • Affordable and available dental care is crucial to addressing inequality in Australia.

Why wasn’t dental included in Medicare in the first place?

    • There is, however, little to no evidence on the extent to which the Whitlam government pushed for dental to be included or how much it was opposed by dentists.
    • It seems it was not on the agenda when Medicare was restored by the Hawke government.
    • Secondly, the provision of public dental health services – often linked to dental hospitals and dental schools – has long been seen (especially by Coalition governments) as the responsibility of states and territories.

A short history

    • This section gives the Commonwealth the power to legislate and fund these services but it’s not obligated to do so.
    • The Whitlam government was the first to provide national funding and direction to these state-based programs through the Australian School Dental Program.

The barriers to universal dental care

    • These figures don’t factor in the savings made to health-care costs due to preventable dental cavities and gum disease (estimated by the Australian Dental Association at $818 million per year) and reduced productivity.
    • The other approach is to reduce costs by limiting the number of people covered and/or the number and type of services covered.
    • Means testing access to Medicare Benefits Schedule items for dental care is risky; it could easily lead to means testing of access to other MBS items.

There’s more we can do

    • Researchers have described the Chronic Dental Disease Scheme (introduced by the Howard government) as as “the most expensive and controversial public dental policy in Australian history”.
    • As a 2012 analysis showed, it blew out its budget and did not result in dental health improvements.
    • It’s worth noting many of the preventive actions needed to address obesity (for example, encouraging breast feeding and limiting sugary beverages) will also improve dental health.
