    Annual Dentist/Dental Nurse Checkups

    Current
    • Advocacy and Support
    Most students have recently come from secondary school and may be used to having a dental nurse truck come around every year to perform a check-up on each student. I think the UCSA should provide something similar; they should organise a few weeks a year when a dentist/dental nurse can be on-site, providing checkups. UCSA should send out an email providing an easy way to make appointments, as well as any costs and so forth. I understand that it will likely be too expensive to provide for free to every student, but even just making it easy would encourage many people to take care of their teeth into their adult lives. It will also make it easy for adult students who have maybe been neglecting their teeth to see a dentist. Obviously, bonus points if the UCSA are able to subsidise the visits.
