  • According to the World Health Organization (WHO), untreated dental caries (tooth decay) affects about 60-90% of school-age children worldwide, and most of these cases occur in developing countries.

  • Around 3.5 billion people suffer from oral diseases, with dental caries affecting nearly half of the world's population.

  • In low-income countries, the prevalence of untreated dental caries in children can reach as high as 70-90%.

  • In those same locations listed above, there can be as few as one dental chair for every 100,000 people, highlighting the critical shortage of dental infrastructure.
