<p>There has been no formal assessment of the use of previous Adult Dental Health
Surveys. The comparable nature of the data facilitates the following uses: for national
and local policy makers to design, implement and monitor policies on oral health and
dental services; for dental commissioners in NHS England to ensure commissioned services
are meeting the needs of the population; for local authorities to fulfil a statutory
function to assess the oral health needs of their populations - to inform the adult
oral health elements of their joint strategic needs assessments and their local adult
oral health improvement plans.</p>
