Summary
A damning new report reveals public dental care for kids is in crisis, with over 11,000 children stuck on waiting lists—many for more than two years. Half of primary school kids haven’t even received mandatory screenings, and the system fails hardest for disadvantaged and special needs children. Real-life cases like Lucy’s show how delays can worsen health and trauma. Experts demand urgent reforms: more staff, better data, ring-fenced care models, and a national push to clear backlogs. The Health Service Executive vows to cut waits and stabilize services over two years, laying groundwork for deeper systemic change.
