The findings are drawn from the Child Dental Health Survey 2009, in which the data of 87,269 children aged 5–14 from most states and territories, except New South Wales and Victoria, were collected and analysed. Any comparisons with previous years or international statistics should be made with caution due to missing data from New South Wales and Victoria.en© Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Creative Commons BY 3.0 (CC-BY 3.0) licence.Report0030090981172284Ha, D.
