The Economist is reporting that children in Britain and Germany have the healthiest teeth, according to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The latest OECD "Health at a Glance" report, released December 8, finds that children in Poland have the worst dental health, with a 12-year-old there having nearly fourth teeth missing, decayed, or with a filling, The Economist noted.
In the U.S., meanwhile, each child has one decayed or missing tooth, while kids in Britain, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden each have fewer than one missing or decayed tooth.
