Dentures For Son in Australia Needed But He Is Unemployed?

My son is in his mid twenties and his teeth are bad due to a genetic condition. He is in pain all the time and needs his teeth taken out and dentures. He cant pay for this at present as he is unemployed and I cant hellp him with money for dental work. Can anyone tell me how he can obtain dental treatment in Queensland?

first of all help him get a job then he may be able to set up a payment plan with the dentist.

Try this: http://www.health.qld.gov.au/oralhealth/...

While the wait for services is typically quite long, it's possible that because of your son's genetic condition, he may qualify under disability through Medicare. Queensland just put forth a Health Disability Service Plan and they're gearing up to provide more suitable services for folks with disabilities.

The fact that he is currently unemployed may be helpful as well...

I know dental health issues are horrendous in AU. It's a bit better for services in Queensland than other regions, but still a horror story.

My best to you...
