Details

The population group for study is adults attending general dental practices for the academic year 2017 to 2018.

The survey will produce oral health information at local authority level and allow comparison at a regional and national level. Comparison will also be made with the findings of the adult dental health survey 2009.

Results of the survey in 2019 will provide new insight into adult oral health and highlight inequalities for local authorities, the NHS and other partners.
