Dental and oral health in Australia

This snapshot of the state of dental and oral health in Australia has just been updated by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

Check here for the most recent statistics on both dental health and dental visiting patterns.  The information provided shows clearly that both are affected by remoteness and socioeconomic status.  The proportion of people with untreated decay is greater in remote and very remote areas (38%) than in major cities (24%).
