Brits’ dental health in jeopardy as 1 in 20 admit they NEVER visit the dentist

- Almost one in 20 (4%) parents of children aged 18 or under say their child never brushes their teeth and 7% admit they never take their child to the dentist. [1]
- Shockingly, 43% of parents of children with a filling said their child had their first one aged seven younger.
- This corresponds with a report by the Royal College of Surgeons which showed record numbers of under-fives having rotten teeth removed
- Extractions among pre-school children have soared by 24 per cent in just ten years[2]
- Shockingly, even babies are affected — last year alone, 47 children under the age of one had newly grown milk teeth taken out.
