In the 2016/2017 school year, 18,179 children from 119 schools were screened for oral health issues. Between 2011/2012 to 2016/2017, the percentage of children with decay or requiring urgent care has increased by 51%.
This is a terrible statistic. Out of such an exact number of children and schools there is no numerator or denominator for the increase of 51%. I suppose a minimum number would be an increase from 100 to 151 and a max of 12,039 to all 18,179.
