Abstract

Oral diseases are the most prevalent human diseases.

The economic burden of periodontitis and caries far exceeds the costs of any other non-communicable diseases.

The most deprived bear the highest costs of inadequate prevention.

A levelling up approach could reduce per-person lifetime care costs in the most deprived group by $17,728 in the UK, with savings three-fold higher in the most deprived versus the second-most deprived group in all countries.
