The Child Dental Health Survey, Australia 1998

This report provides descriptive epidemiological and service provision data concerning children's dental health in Australia.

Summary

Data for the report has been derived from the Child Dental Health Survey which monitors the dental health of children in each State and Territory of Australia. 

The tables and figures contained in this report describe the demographic composition of the sample, deciduous and permanent caries experience, extent of immediate treatment needs, prevalence of fissure sealants and other relevant information. State/Territory comparisons follow the national tables and precede an examination of selected national trends, the relationship between caries experience and geographic location, and international comparisons. 

The report will be particularly useful to dental care service planners, providers of dental services, and researchers in the field.
