More than 40,000 Australians a year are hospitalised for preventable dental conditions.

  Almost half of Australia’s 6 year-olds have cavities in their baby teeth. 25% of Australian adults have untreated dental decay.

  20% of Australian adults have moderate or severe cases of the gum disease periodontitis.

  The current cost of treating dental disease in Australia is $5.1 billion a year.

  There is growing evidence that dental disease is linked to systemic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
