Waiting list numbers and dentists withdrawing from the medical card system are being highlighted.
Dental treatment is going backwards according to two midlands TDs.
Independent Offaly rep Carol Nolan is highlighting the lack of school-age assessments, and the withdrawal of dentists from the medical card system.
While Longford-Westmeath Sinn Fein TD Sorca Clarke is pointing to ever expanding waiting lists.
More than 170 people, mainly children, in the Midlands are waiting for HSE dental and orthodontic treatment such as braces and surgery, while nearly 200 have been on the list for over a year.
Her part is bringing forward a Dáil motion seeking major reform of dental care.
Carol Nolan says the system isn't improving:
