Details

The oral health survey results of 3 year olds show:

• 10.7% of 3 year olds in England (whose parents gave consent for this survey) had experienced tooth decay

• children with tooth decay experience had on average 3 teeth that were decayed, missing or filled (at age 3 most children have all 20 primary teeth)

This is the second national survey undertaken for this group in England. The first was completed in 2013, also by PHE.

The findings indicate that the oral health of 3 year olds has changed little since 2013 when 11.7% had experience of dental decay.
