Changing Levels of Dental Caries over 30 Years among Children in a Country of Central and Eastern Europe – The Case of Hungary

Conclusions: Hungary has not yet achieved the WHO goals for children aged 5 –6. While Hungary accomplished the WHO goal for oral health of 12-year-olds by the year 2000, it is seems unrealistic for the country to achieve the WHO goal for 12-year-olds by the year 2020. For better oral health of children, strong emphasis should be given to population-directed oral disease p revention, including the reduction of sugar consumption and implementing public health programmes for the effective use of fluoride.
