Dental survey results later this year

Information to be used by Public Health

Subject to government approvals, the findings of a recent survey into the dental health of five-year-olds on the Isle of Man will be published later this year, along with the results of the dental home habits survey conducted last year.

The survey took place between 22 April and 3rd May.

Information gathered will give Public Health an insight into the oral health of the Island's children, and provide a benchmark for future work to improve oral health in the age group and assist in the planning of dental services.
