Introducing the Saudi Oral Health Data Hub
A single, continuously updated home for Saudi Arabia's oral health statistics — caries and periodontal prevalence, dentist density across all 20 health regions, and workforce trends, each linked to its original source.
Press Release
Finding reliable oral health numbers for Saudi Arabia has always meant piecing together MOH statistical yearbooks, WHO datasets, and scattered regional studies. We built the Saudi Oral Health Data Hub so you can stop doing that.
What's inside
The hub consolidates dozens of indicators into one dashboard, grouped by theme:
Disease burden
Caries prevalence across children, adolescents, and adults, plus periodontal disease indicators — now with region-tagged studies covering Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al-Madinah, and the Aseer, Abha, and Jazan areas rather than a single-city snapshot.
Workforce and access
Dentist-to-population density for all 20 Saudi health regions, ranked and benchmarked against the national average, so regional gaps are visible at a glance.
Services and prevention
Utilisation, preventive care, and service-delivery indicators drawn from official reporting.
Every number is traceable
Each metric carries its source, the reference year, and a direct link to the original MOH publication, WHO dataset, or peer-reviewed study. Nothing is presented without provenance — if you want to cite it, you can go straight to the primary reference.
It stays current
The hub refreshes on a quarterly schedule, pulling from official sources automatically. Changes are recorded, so trends reflect genuine movement rather than one-off edits, and each indicator shows whether the direction is favourable — a rising dentist ratio is good news, a rising caries rate is not.
Spot something wrong?
We would rather be corrected than confidently inaccurate. Every page carries a Report an error button that opens a short form and routes straight to our editorial team.
Who it's for
Clinicians building a case for preventive programmes, researchers scoping a study, students writing a literature review, and policymakers looking for a defensible baseline. If it saves you an afternoon of PDF hunting, it has done its job.
