Why refer

 

Assessment of oral health is particularly important for people of refugee and asylum seeker background, with reports, locally and internationally, indicating high levels of untreated caries or dental decay compared to the general host population.

A review specific to refugees reports that people are twice as likely to go for dental treatment when they are actively examined and referred by a physician.
