Tooth Decay In US Preschool Kids On The Rise

According to a new report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tooth decay has increased in preschool children while oral health continues to improve among older Americans.

The report says that tooth decay in primary teeth (baby or milk teeth) in children aged between 2 and 5 has gone up from 24 per cent in 1988-1994 to 28 per cent in 1999-2004.

The CDC report does not suggest any reasons for this decline in oral health among the very young, but media reports are speculating that the rise in drinking bottled water as opposed to fluoridated tap water could be partly to blame.
