ADA Calls for a National Advertisement Campaign to Educate Parents About Dental Hygiene

The Australian Dental Association (ADA) is calling for TV advertising campaigns, similar to those for smoking and skin cancer, to warn about the dangers of tooth decay and gum disease. The need for this measure follows the release of new figures which indicate that there is a current ‘epidemic’ of child tooth decay in Australia.
