BC study finds improvements in adult dental health across province
A 1991 survey of 8,354 British Columbia adults shows overall better dental health than five years earlier. Cavities decline notably among under 35s with 8% ages 16 to 25 cavity free, while gum disease remains unchanged. Older adults retain more natural teeth, shifting demand toward preventive and restorative services. emphasis on patient education noted by Dr. Marke Pedersen.
