As a Wiradjuri-Ngunnawal woman this is so important for my mob which experience poorer oral health than other Australians, with higher incidence of tooth loss, decay and gum disease. I believe this discrepancy can be improved by promoting culturally safe oral health messages and practices. Ready to purchase?
