No, and I doubt that it was true even at the worst points in our dental history.
Things have improved tremendously, but here is still room for further progress.
This study (albeit 6 or 7 years old) highlights how there there were 25% fewer teeth extracted per patient and 30% fewer per dentist per week between 1984 and 1999.
