Providing Dental Care for Out of Home Care Children

Monash Health Dental Services (MHDS) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) have been in an ongoing partnership to support the oral health of children and young people in the Out of Home Care program. The Out of Home Care program exists to support children and young people who can no longer safely live with their parents.

MHDS and DHHS have developed an animation video with the aim to increase the knowledge and confidence of dental professionals providing dental care to children and young people in the Out of Home Care program.

The animation video may also be useful for carers and the general population to gain a better understanding of how to support the child’s oral health needs.
