Abstract
Public Oral Health Care During COVID-19: Time for Reflection and Action.
Highlights
About 2.3 billion people suffer from untreated dental caries while 530 million children have caries involving primary teeth, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2017
Data from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 further suggest a skewed distribution of reported oral diseases across the global platform
Changes in dietary intake, increased sugar consumption, and limited access to health care could further be attributed to the reported rates of diabetes, obesity, and dental caries [3]
