The source notes, this statistic concerns the share of the population in the Netherlands that has been in contact with a dentist at least once in the last 12 months.
Moreover, the source states this includes dentist visits in the Netherlands, but excludes contact with a dental hygienist, orthodontist and oral surgeon.
