Experts warn Australians are increasingly adopting poor dental hygiene habits and if the problems left unattended could lead to more serious health problems.
For many Australians, going to the dentist is no fun.
In fact, new research shows only 13 per cent of Australians visited the dentist in the past 12 months.
A survey of 25,000 people conducted by the Australian Dental Association reveals some Australians are adopting questionable habits when it comes to their dental hygiene.
In addition to missed appointments due to the pandemic, poorly funded and promoted dental care schemes, long waiting lists for public dentistry, and increases in private health insurance can also contribute to questionable dental habits.
