This statistic is sobering! I wonder if it is because their parents have had a bad experience at the dentist and don’t want to put their children through it. I think emphasis on better patient experience could reverse this trend.

Wonder what the numbers are in Norway, where I’m from
Shows we as a profession have a long ways to go in our mission as dental providers!
