Australian Teeth Getting Worse Despite Fluoridation

90% of Australians are served fluoridated water. But " Australian Teeth Are Getting Worse."

A recent report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) found that Australians’
dental health has not improved. There’s been a rise in the average number of children’s baby teeth affected by decay and an increase in the number of adults reporting adverse oral health.

Nearly half of all children aged 12 years had decay in their permanent teeth.
Over one-third of adults had untreated decay, more than 50% of people aged 65 years and more had
gum disease and one in five had complete tooth loss.
