New HPI Report Details Troubling State of Oral Health in U.S.


A new study published by the American Dental Association Health Policy Institute (HPI), released in conjunction with Families USA on June 8, reports large numbers of adults suffer from dental problems that affect their quality of life. The report, “Oral Health & Well-being in the United States,” found across all income levels, nearly 30 percent of those surveyed said life is “very often” or “occasionally” less satisfying because of the condition of their mouth or teeth. The full report includes data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and is based on the responses of nearly 15,000 adults nationwide.
