How can dental services be approved across Ireland?
Published 3 days, 20 hours ago
Description
A medical card scheme for dental services in Ireland is “haemorrhaging dentists”, and too many children are leaving primary school without having ever had a dental screening, an Oireachtas committee has warned. The report has made 19 recommendations it said must be implemented as a priority to improve dental services in Ireland.
Joining Seán Defoe to discuss this is Dr Bridget Harrington Barry, incoming President of The Irish Dental Association.
