Caries prevalence and severity for 12 ‐year‐old children in Latvia
ConclusionsWe found a high caries prevalence and severity in 12 year‐old children in Latvia. Although the WHO target for 2010 (D5MFT ≤ 3) is met, the values for caries prevalence (D5MFT > 0 = 71.9%) and severity (D5MFT = 2.5) in 12‐year‐old Latvian children are higher than the European averages (D5MFT > 0 = 52%, D5MFT = 1.1).
