Kids dental decayv

August 3, 2011

FORTY percent of Australian children aged between four and five years have untreated tooth decay, according to a report by the AIHW. The report found that between 1993 and 2000, the proportion of children brushing less than once a day when they began brushing their teeth almost doubled from 8% to 15%. The proportion brushing twice a day reduced from a high of 44% in 1993 to 32% in 2000. Researchers also noted that during this time, the number of children under the age of six brushing with low-fluoride toothpaste increased (as per recommendations), with most young Aussie children now using a low-fluoride kids toothpaste.
