FED: Australians avoid the dentists: Survey

A new health survey's found more than half of us haven't been to the dentist for an
annual check up in the past year.

The excuses vary from fear .. to cost .. and lack of time.

The MBF Healthwatch survey also found adults generally think they only need to see
a dentist when they have a problem.

The research has been released ahead of Dental Awareness Week .. starting tomorrow.
