The purpose of this study was to determine national and state-specific
estimates of dental care use among adult pregnant women in the United States
using data from two 12-month periods. The study also determined person-level
characteristics that may predict a lack of dental care use within this
subgroup. Overall, 70% of pregnant women in 1999 and 2002 had received
dental care in the previous 12 months.
National Oral Health Surveillance
System (NOHSS)
http://www.cdc.gov/nohss/
NOHSS is a collaborative effort between CDC's Division of Oral Health and
the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD). NOHSS is
designed to help public health programs monitor the burden of oral disease,
use of the oral health care delivery system, and the status of community
water fluoridation on both a state and national level. NOHSS includes
indicators of oral health, information on state dental programs, and links
to other important sources of oral health information.
