Poor oral health awareness, lack of access to dental care facilities, and poor nutrition are just a few of the reasons why 70% of African children, or 7 out of 10 children, suffer from tooth decay, particularly in rural areas.
According to Dr. Adekemi Adeniyan, an oral health expert who advocates for better dental care for African children following the COVID-19 pandemic, this is the case.

Dr. Adeniyan said that while tooth decay is preventable, brushing and flossing are still not a priority for some families, particularly those who are struggling to make ends meet as a result of the coronavirus outbreak's economic downturn.

In the aftermath of COVID-19, the WHO revealed in a study that 90 percent of African countries reported a complete or partial disruption of their oral health services between February and July 2020, while more than 530 million children worldwide suffer from dental cavities in their milk teeth.
