Prevalence of Children's Cavities Statistics

A large study called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey implemented by CDC (Centers for Disease Control) studied the prevalence of tooth cavities in children.

Findings for Tooth Decay In Children

Of children aged 2-11 years old, 41% of them had tooth decay in their first teeth. Children from higher income families had a lower cavity rate, averaging 30.7% of all children affected.
Children from lower income families ranged in cavity rates from 45.2% to 55.3%.

Untreated tooth decay is a common condition. 21% of children have untreated tooth decay. This represents about half
of the children with cavities. Lower income groups had more children with untreated tooth decay. Presumably there is an
effort to save money by avoiding dental treatments.

Examining the Data on Children's Tooth Decay

Don't worry about these confusing government charts; I will explain the key data points regarding children's cavities.

 

Tooth Decay in Children Prevalence Data

I am looking at the first row of data that describes the age group of 2-5 years old. In the 1988-1994 data survey 24.35% of young children had tooth cavities. In the 1999-2002 survey, this number increased by 15% to 27.91%. For some reason researchers who summarized this study hid the fact of this dramatic rise by lumping together the 2-5 year old age group with the 6-11 year old age group. The reason why cavity rates are rising is due to a poor diet for children and pregnant mothers.

This chart is a graphical representation of the data in the tables above.

Mrs. Brown, Canada

"I've always known deep down that teeth can heal naturally. When my own daughter began having dental issues, I went on a mission! Already been down that path, and being very scarred from the dental experiences I endured, I knew I couldn't put my child through it. I found Dr. Weston Price's research and my instincts told me this was it! Ramiel has now written a book, drawn from Price's findings, but specifically directed at restoring dental health. The result is a very comprehensive book that lays it all out. He is honest. And the truth is an incredible eye-opener! The protocol works. Get this book, especially if you have children."

I was ready to have a tooth pulled and the dentist told me that I needed a root canal, but I had no money for either procedure. I was in pain and my cheek had already begun to swell. But after just over a month of following Ramiel's dietary protocols it is hard for me to feel which tooth was bothering me. Thanks a million to Ramiel Nagel for writing this book. Unbelievable! - Leroy, artist from Utah.

I purchased your book about a year ago and found it fascinating and encouraging. I am glad to learn of evidence that teeth which have suffered decay have the potential to heal over and remineralize to the point of avoiding extraction, root canals or other invasive treatments. - Pete
