New research from Public Health England released today came up with a shocking statistic.

It was that 12% of three year olds suffer from tooth decay. Not just that there were often more than one tooth which had decayed.

Now as some readers know I used to work in the whole area of healthcare survey research and so a lot of results are highly dependent on methodology used to run the study and , of course, how the respondents were drawn!

So I was interested in comparing the Public Health England results with the experiences of my readers.

It would be great if you could take the poll below which asks the question ” At what age did you have your first dental filling?”
