• Description:
  This surveillance report provides national estimates for selected oral health measures from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), using the NHANES 2017–March 2020 prepandemic data files. This report updates CDC’s 2019 Oral Health Surveillance Report, which provided data for 2011–2016 and highlighted disparities in oral health by certain sociodemographic characteristics. For this report, we provide estimates for the prevalence and severity of dental caries in primary and permanent teeth in specific age groups (for those 2 years or older) and for tooth retention and edentulism (total tooth loss) in adults 20 years or older. Estimates are stratified by the following self-reported sociodemographic characteristics: age, sex, race and ethnicity, family poverty status, education level, and smoking status.
