This report provides information on geographic variation in oral health and use of dental services in the Australian population in 2004-06. People from outside capital cities are known to have less access to dental care and water fluoridation than residents of capital cities. Differences by age group, tooth loss, oral health status, dental visiting patterns and dental treatment within the previous year are presented.
