Import
This exhibition provides the latest hospital activity in teeth extracts to children and young people aged 0 to 19 years at various geographical levels. The data are categorized into episodes that were primarily diagnosed with tooth decay to the reason for exporting and those that had other diagnoses.
Main findings
In the financial year ending in 2024 there were 49,112 teeth extracts at NHS hospitals in England for people aged 0 to 19 years.
There were 30,587 episodes of teeth extracts with a primary diagnosis of teeth decomposition for children aged 0 to 19 years. This accounts for 62% of all teeth extracts for this age group.
Although an increase of 3% of the total number of teeth extracts increased by a 2% decrease in the number of episodes associated with the wear of teeth expenses in the hospital for age 0 to 19 years compared to the previous financial year ending in 2023.
There were fluctuations in the percentage of episodes of teeth -related tooth mining in all government statistical areas. The highest rates were in Yorkshire and Humber (454 per 100,000 population aged 0 to 19 years) and the lower rates were in East Midlands (70 per 100,000 population aged 0 to 19 years). The percentage of England was 229 per 100,000 population of 0 to 19 years.
The percentage of episode of teeth mining associated with disintegration for children and young people who lived in the most degraded communities was almost 3.5 times those who lived in the most affluent communities.
Tooth decay remains the most common reason for hospital admission to children between 5 and 9 years.
Costs for NHS of Hospital Imports for teeth extracts to children aged 0 to 19 years appreciated based on the Late National Cost Cost Data. The cost was £ 74.8 million for all teeth extracts and £ 45.8 million for wear -related teeth extracts in the financial year ending in 2024. It is an increase in comparison to the cost of the previous financial year that ended in 2023 and is due to both NHS tooth extraction procedures).
There has been a steady decrease in the number of teeth extraction episodes from the financial year ending in 2015 (Figure 1 and Table 1 below). The large reduction in the financial year ended in 2021 was likely to be due to services affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The increase in teeth extracts by 2021 is probably due to the ongoing recovery of services after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Episodes of tooth extraction from government statistical area and year
Percentages in Yorkshire and Humber are almost 6.5 times those of East Midlands (Figure 2 below and worksheet 1, table 5 in data tables).

| Statistical area | Tooth export rate |
|---|---|
| Yorkshire and The Humber | 454 |
| Northeastern | 418 |
| Northwest | 337 |
| London | 291 |
| Southwest | 261 |
| England | 229 |
| West Midlands | 147 |
| Southeastern | 99 |
| East England | 99 |
| East Midlands | 70 |
Most areas have seen a decrease in imports from the Covid-19 pandemic. However, some areas have similar import numbers in 2024 compared to 2020, including southwestern, northeast and East of England (Figure 3 below and worksheet 7, Table 1 in the data tables).

The above diagram shows the number of teeth mining episodes and groups the data per region and financial year starting from the financial year expiring in 2020 to 2024.
The rate of exporting teeth -related tooth export for children and young people living in the most degraded communities was almost 3.5 times that of people living in the most affluent communities (Figure 4 below and worksheet 7, Table 3 in the data tables).
Figure 4: A percentage of episode of teeth mining associated with decomposition per 100,000 population of 0 to 19 years with multiple deprivation index (IMD) 2019 quintiles for the financial year expiring in 2024.
| Deprivation | Percentage of teeth extraction episode |
|---|---|
| Cup 1 | 394 |
| Cup 2 | 287 |
| Cup 3 | 207 |
| Cup 4 | 174 |
| Cup 5 | 117 |
| Average of England | 247 |
Quintile 1 is the most degraded quintile 5 is the least deprived.
The absolute inequalities between the most degraded and less degraded communities continue to persist (Figure 5 below and worksheet 7, Table 4 in the data tables).

The above diagram shows the annual tendency of teeth -related teeth extracts for children and young people from the highest and lower deprivation quibbles as well as the average of England. The timetable is running from the financial year expiring in 2016 to 2024.
Data restrictions
Care should be paid in the interpretation and application of the findings from this report. The data listed on the underestimation of the teeth extracts of children in a hospital environment. It is recognized that there are teeth extracts conducted by Community dental services in hospital arrangements and that this activity is not always included in Is data.
There can be no cases on the anesthesia method provided for these procedures, but it is likely that the majority of the episodes was a general anesthetic. It is likely that different clinical coding protocols are applied to certain locations and this could explain some of the fluctuations in different geographical areas.
NHS Digital is responsible for the quality of Is data and has created his own Data quality as well as describing the stages involved in Is processing cycle.
More information is available on the tooth mining collections page.
Ethnicity is recorded either as “unknown” or as “not declared” for a quarter of teeth extracts for children aged 0 to 19 years. This has not changed since the previous year, so there is no distribution of activity for this trait. The recording of precise nationality will be reviewed every year.
