8. Dominican Republic
DMFT score: 4.4
At number 8 on our list of countries with the worst teeth, oral health and hygiene in the world, we have the Dominican Republic. This Caribbean nation is well known for its beautiful beaches and extravagant resorts and golf courses. However, in this particular article we are more interested in the country’s oral health and hygiene. From the DMFT score, we can clearly see that the Dominican Republic is not in a favorable position. Of course, the ideal position would be to have a DMFT score of 0, but in the real world that is not going to be true for most countries. Thus, countries should aim to get their DMFT score as close to zero as possible.
