I am advised:
The total number of students actively participating in the School Dental Service at Kalannie Primary School has decreased from 44 students in 2012 to 21 students in 2019.
To maximise clinical time and efficiency, Dental Health Services will provide dental services from a mobile Dental Therapy Centre (DTC) based at the Dalwallinu District High School.
