The 1998 Adult Dental Health Survey included face to face interviews with participants to determine their dental attitudes and behaviours. This article considers reported oral hygiene practices, treatment choices, satisfaction with appearance of teeth, attitudes towards wearing dentures and how these have changed since previous surveys. Although overall there has been a steady improvement in dental health attitudes, adults from disadvantaged households are still lagging behind. This has implications for social equity.
1998年成人牙齿健康调查包括与参与者进行面对面访谈，以确定他们的牙齿健康态度和行为。本文探讨了报告的口腔卫生习惯、治疗选择、对牙齿外观的满意度、对佩戴假牙的态度，以及自之前的调查以来这些方面发生了怎样的变化。尽管总体而言，牙齿健康态度一直在稳步改善，但来自弱势家庭的成年人仍落后于其他人。这对社会公平具有重要意义。
