Where are
W      we now?
           A person accessing public dental care in
           Victoria:
           ■■ has more disease and fewer teeth than
              the general population
           ■■ is less likely to access services than
              the general population
           ■■ has to wait on average a year to get
              routine care with no recall arrangements
              (but this varies across the state)
           ■■ receives care not always focused on
              achieving better health outcomes.
           We are not using the workforce to its full
           scope of practice.
           Our models of care do not always incorporate
           preventive interventions.
           Commonwealth funding is only guaranteed
           for short periods of time which doesn’t
           support sustainable services.

Healthy Families    Healthy Families Healthy Smiles is a DHSV initiative aimed at improving the oral health
Healthy Smiles      of Victorian children aged 0-3 years and pregnant women. Healthy Families Healthy
                    Smiles aims to skill health and early childhood professionals to promote oral health
                    within their services. The initiative is funded by the Victorian Department of Health
                    and Human Services in collaboration with a range of partner organisations including the
                    Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

Life course         We have taken a life course approach in this plan, i.e. looking at different ages and stages
approach            in the life course (e.g. infants and early years, children and adolescents) as different
                    biological and social factors at each stage of life can have long-term effects on oral health.
                    We recognise that applying appropriate interventions at particular life stages can impact
                    health outcomes.

Minimal             Minimal intervention refers to dental care designed around the aim of preservation of as
intervention        much of the natural tooth structure as possible. The approach is centred on management
                    of the dental disease, controlling and reversing the disease in the early stages, then
                    restoring the tooth, filling only where necessary, and prevention from future caries.

Model of care       A ‘model of care’ broadly defines the way health services are delivered. It outlines best
                    practice care and services for a person, population group or patient cohort as they
                    progress through the stages of a condition, injury or event.

Oral health         Oral health refers to the health of all the structures of the mouth including teeth, gums,
                    lips, the palate, throat and jaws. Oral health is fundamental to overall health, wellbeing
                    and quality of life and is influenced by social, economic, environmental, behavioural,
                    biological and cultural factors. Oral diseases include tooth decay, tooth erosion, gum
                    (periodontal) disease and oral cancers. Oral disease is a prevalent, mostly preventable,
                    chronic disease.

Priority groups     Priority population groups for public dental access are determined through policies
                    of the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services.

Public dental       Public dental agencies are the public health organisations across Victoria that have a
agencies            funding agreement with DHSV to deliver public dental services.

services            dental agency with funding provided by DHSV.
