Public Health England has published, for the first time, these 2 reports presenting information on the oral health of children at local authority level:
- ‘Local authority area variation in the oral health of 5 year olds‘ identifies the 30 local authority areas with higher levels of tooth decay and the trends in decay over the past 9 years
- ‘Oral health improvement programmes commissioned by local authorities’ shows which oral health improvement programmes local authorities are currently commissioning
Both reports should be read in conjunction with the official statistics publication National Dental Epidemiology Programme for England: oral health survey of 5 year old children 2017.
