The NSW Teen Dental Survey 2010 was a joint project of the Centre for Oral Health Strategy NSW (COHS), the University of Sydney, and the Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health (ARCPOH), University of Adelaide.
The Survey investigated the distribution of dental caries by among teenagers 14 and 15 years of age in NSW by geographic location, and a range of other demographic factors, in order to identify teenagers most in need of dental healthcare. It also examined patterns of service use, perceptions of oral health and behaviours that affect oral health among the target population.
