Oral health is one of the cornerstones of overall health, but it’s an area that’s often neglected. Tooth decay is the most prevalent health problem in Australia1, affecting nearly 50% of Australian children by the age of 12 , while Australian adults lose 3 million hours of paid work or study each year due to dental issues2.
In fact, 90% of all tooth loss is due to tooth decay and gum disease1 conditions that are largely preventable with the appropriate care.
