National oral health figures have shown improvements in adult oral health in the UK, though children's oral health trends are not as positive. Fewer adults now have no natural teeth, and more adults visit dentists regularly. However, children's sugar intake is high and contributes to tooth decay, and many children do not visit dentists annually. Additionally, many adults only brush their teeth and do not practice proper oral hygiene like flossing or mouthwash use. Continued efforts are needed to educate the public on proper oral care, nutrition, and regular dental visits.
