In Italy, access to dental care is among the lowest in Europe, with only 45.8% of individuals over the age of 15 visiting a dentist, compared to an EU average of 60.1%. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the situation, causing delays in check-ups and treatments. Oral diseases such as cavities and periodontitis are highly prevalent; the WHO estimates that 60% to 90% of school-age children and most adults in industrialized countries are affected by dental caries. Severe periodontitis affects around 10% of the global population, while half of the population experiences moderate forms.
The lack of dental care leads to serious consequences: pain, discomfort, loss of masticatory and aesthetic function, and a reduced quality of life. Access to treatment becomes increasingly complex and costly, deepening economic and social inequalities and forcing those with lower incomes to compromise their oral health.
The most sustainable and effective solution is prevention, which helps reduce the incidence of cavities and periodontitis at a much lower cost than treatment. For example, studies show that simple informational interventions for parents have halved the incidence of cavities in children, providing economic benefits and improved quality of life.
Finally, to facilitate access to dental care, we offer in-house financing and installment payment options, making treatments more affordable for everyone.
