April JADA finds more than 1 in 5 US adults have untreated caries
Tooth Decay Should Not Be Ignored
Source: American Dental Association
Summary:
More than 1 in 5 U.S. adults have untreated caries, and those with a family income at or below the poverty threshold are at a disproportionately high risk of being part of that group, according to a study published in the April issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association.
"There is a substantial unmet health care need in the U.S. adult population for the prevention and management of untreated caries, and public health efforts should aim particularly to address disease within those subgroups who are at a disproportionately high risk," Dr. Bashir said in the study.
