Dental emergency faces access gaps in Canberra
A Canberra man recounted his four year old son's tooth filling loss and the delay in obtaining an emergency dentist's number. He finally got care after calling his dentist's partner, with the on duty dentist treating the boy around 9:30pm. Officials noted the rostered service runs 8:30am to 6pm on weekends and holidays and is not provided by the Health Commission.
