New York State ranked favorably for adults and reasonably well for children in terms of oral health standards.
Results from the National Health Interview Survey place New York State at or near the top among states for the oral health standards of its residents. Nevertheless, continued unmet service needs exist, particularly for minority populations, individuals in lower income families and residents with disabilities.
