Sugar and Oral Health: Sugar Consumption in Australia
Did you know that Australians consume more sugar today than at any time in history? This is true, according to the latest data released by Australian Bureau of Statistics.
This increase in sugar consumption indicates that health care providers in Australia, especially dentists, will increasingly provide advice and treatment for patients consuming too much sugar.
