Oral Health Country Profile Summary

Core Content Overview

This document presents a comprehensive overview of the oral health situation in a country, including disease burden, risk factors, economic impact, and the national health system's response. The data is sourced from various international organizations and studies, providing a reliable basis for understanding the current state of oral health in the region.

Main Oral Disease Burden

The following data highlights the prevalence of key oral diseases in the country:

These figures are based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD2019) and reflect the proportion of the population affected by these conditions.

Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer

Lip and oral cavity cancer is a significant public health concern, with a higher incidence rate among males compared to females.

Tobacco use and alcohol consumption are notably higher among males, while sugar availability is a national average.

Economic Impact

The economic burden of oral diseases in the country includes:

• Total expenditure on dental healthcare (US$ million): 376
• Per capita expenditure on dental healthcare (US$): 19
• Total productivity losses due to 5 oral diseases (US$ million): 1 150
• Affordability of fluoride toothpaste: Affordable
• Labour days needed to buy annual supply of fluoride toothpaste per person: 0.5

The affordability of fluoride toothpaste is a positive indicator, as it suggests that the recommended annual supply can be obtained with minimal economic burden.
