“As dentists, we see first-hand the growing rate of dental decay and disease. With the increasing rate of dental decay in children, we are particularly concerned about the oral health of future generations,” stated Dr Karin Alexander, ADA President. “As the report states, poor childhood oral health is a strong predictor of poor adult oral health and with more than half of all six-year-olds showing decay in their baby teeth, we need everyone to sit up and take action to halt these trends”.
