The drop was attributed to Covid-19, according to the report. Due to a decrease in patient visits to dental clinics, the pandemic has resulted in a 63.7 percent decrease in preventive treatment.

The government published monthly guidance for dentists during the pandemic, initially suspending all but emergency procedures and then changing to protective measures.
