Data Systems
How the Data Systems Relate
The graphic below illustrates the relationships between and among the
different Oral Health data systems.
The Water Fluoridation Reporting System (WFRS) also provides biennial
data to the National Oral Health Surveillance System (NOHSS) and the
Synopses. The Synopses provide data to NOHSS through a real-time link.
WFRS also provides data in real-time to two systems—My Water's Fluoride
(MWF) and the Oral Health Maps.
Although most of the data in the Synopses are updated annually, contact
information for state and territorial dental directors is updated as
soon as CDC is notified of changes.
