What is this about?
This indicator uses data from the Jersey School Survey, which every Jersey child in school Years 6, 8, 10 and 12 has the opportunity to take part in. Pupils were asked 'How long ago did you last visit the dentist?' and could choose between the options: in the past six months; in the past year; or, more than a year ago.
20% of children surveyed answered that they had not seen the dentist in the past year, ranging from just 23% of children in Year 6 (aged 10 to 11 years) to 17% of Year 12 (aged 16 to 17 years).
