The Department of Health has set up a Special Care Dental Service Coordinating Committee to advise on long-term dental services for people with disabilities, special needs and financial hardship. Citing its oral health surveys, the department said the share of non-institutionalised 65–74-year-olds with no natural teeth fell from 5.6% in 2011 to 0.9% in 2021, and average tooth count rose from 19.3 to 22.8, but more than half of older people using long-term care services have untreated decay.
