Maintaining good dental health is considered very important for overall health, with 92% of adults and 96% of parents expressing this sentiment, according to the 2022 State of America's Oral Health and Wellness Report. A notable finding is that one in five people (20%) believes that oral health issues directly impact their general health. Hence, the heightened awareness of dental health care is a driving force behind the growth of the oral care market.
The rising demand for dental treatments is anticipated to drive the growth of the oral care market in the future. Dental treatments encompass medical procedures and interventions carried out by dental professionals to tackle oral health issues and conditions. These treatments play a crucial role in oral care, concentrating on the diagnosis, prevention, and management of oral health problems. For example, in August 2023, a report from the National Health Service, the publicly funded healthcare system in the UK, indicated that there were 32.5 million instances of dental disorder treatments administered, marking a 23.2% increase from the 26.4 million treatments provided in 2021. Thus, the heightened demand for dental treatments is expected to propel the growth of the oral care market.
