Abstract: | Results from the National Oral Health Surveillance System (NOHSS) provide an overview (at the state and national levels) of the burden of oral disease and the use of oral health services. Compared to national averages, Massachusetts residents are doing very well in terms of some broad measures, but (1) only average in the rate of edentulism, (2) below average in the rank of states with regard to its population on public water supply systems with fluoridation, and (3) marked by wide variations between the many in-state population groups. |
