We read the article ‘Dentist-to-population and practice-topopulation ratios: in a shortage environment with gross maldistribution what should rural and remote communities focus their attention on?' by Tennant and Kruger with keen interest. Their groundbreaking findings are highly appropriate and commendable in the light of evidence of well-known and seemingly widening disparities in distribution of the dental workforce in rural and remote Australia. This is further compounded by the high burden of oral diseases, such as dental caries, missing teeth and poor perceived oral health status among rural and remote inhabitants overwhelmingly dominated by Indigenous Australians. In addition, the majority of Australian dentists (82.5%) are private practitioners.
