LUXEMBOURG: Having a high proportion of practising dentists has not freed EU countries from disparities in oral care. New Eurostat figures show that 4.6% of people aged 16 years and over had an unmet need for dental care in 2024. The level of unmet needs for care varied widely among EU nations, reaching as high as 27.1% in Greece and being as low as 0.4% in Malta. In nearly all member states, those at risk of poverty* are much more likely to report unmet dental needs, underscoring persistent oral health inequities.
