| ANALYSIS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dental treatment Statistics reveal very alarming figures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| From the increasing numbers of attendance on an annual basis indicates that people do not place higher priority in dental hygiene. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| which can be seen in the increasing number of tooth extractions and fillings on an annual basis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| However it is pleasing to see a significant decrease of 25.8% in fillings in 2002 after years of steady increases. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
