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?
Dentures For Son in Australia Needed But He Is Unemployed?
first of all help him get a job then he may be able to set up a payment plan with the dentist.

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...
