This report provides information on aspects of oral health and use of dental services among Australians. Differences by age groups, card-holder status and location of the last dental visit are presented. Comparisons between the National Dental Telephone Interview Survey 1999 and combined data from the 1994, 1995 and 1996 Surveys have been presented. These comparisons highlight variation in self-reported oral health and access to dental care and changes over the late 1990s.
