Urban and rural variations in child oral health

This report provides information on the oral health of Australian children during 2001, and investigates differences in the oral health between children living in rural and urban areas. Children from rural areas have often been found to have poorer health outcomes than their urban counterparts. This report compares oral health status and receipt of fissure sealants across residential locations and evaluates whether socioeconomic factors account for geographic variation.
