The Federal Government is under growing pressure to set up a Medicare-style dental health scheme, with a new report revealing the extent of Australia's dental health problems.The study commissioned by the Brotherhood of St Laurence has found millions of Australians can't afford to visit a dentist. A universal dental health care scheme was one of the pledges which helped the Government secure the Greens' support after the 2010 election. What do you think?
