“…The DMFT for children aged 12 years in Lithgow was 0.69, lower than the statewide DMFT score for 11-12-year-old children reported in 2007 13 and also lower than the mean DMFT of 0.88 for 11-12-yearolds in Sydney West Area Health Service in 2007. 13 The caries rates in the permanent teeth of Lithgow children were higher than the rates in children living in Orange and Bathurst. This may indicate that water fluoridation reduces the risk for dental decay, as noted in other publications from NSW.…”

The finding that the differences in caries prevalence were not statistically significant for primary teeth may have been due to differences in the populations sampled in the three communities.…”
