Access to care

For too many Romanians, dental treatment remains inaccessible

Private system · 95%
5%

Treatments in the private system

Virtually all care is paid out of pocket, so Romanians continue to consider dental treatment inaccessible.

Treatments in the public system

Only 5% — and, time and again, public clinics lack the necessary materials and infrastructure.

Prevention & education

Weak prevention and limited oral-health education

lead many people to lose their teeth at a very young age.

Few regular check-ups

Problems are treated too late.

Low awareness from an early age

Early tooth loss affects even young adults.

The starting point

Patient profiles

Three young adults. Three snapshots of how far manageable conditions can progress before patients reach care.
