Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service
Oral Health
Bundaberg Dental Clinic
Queensland public oral health services provide free dental care to eligible patients. Patients who require non-emergency care are placed on a register or waiting list.
A person is allocated to a particular waiting list depending on the type of care required and the urgency of their condition. This system ensures that people most in need of care can be treated first.
The general anaesthetic waiting list is for patients who require general or specialist dental care under general anaesthetic. This care is provided within a hospital operating theatre, rather than a dental clinic and as such general anaesthetic waitlists and treatment are reported at a Hospital and Health Service level.
Waiting lists are managed by Hospital and Health Services using a statewide information system.
Where there is no waitlist activity for a clinic in a reporting period, tables are not displayed.
