U.S. totals include territories. Data represent adults who reported having had their teeth cleaned within the past year for any reason. Data based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an ongoing, state-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey of noninstitutionalized civilian adults aged 18 years and older. Percentages are weighted to reflect population characteristics.
