Synopses of State and Territorial Dental Public Health Programs

Welcome to the State Synopses

The Synopses contain information useful in tracking progress toward Healthy People 2010 oral health objectives (Chapter 21)  in states, U.S.-associated jurisdictions, and the nation. In the interest of brevity, the word "state" is used in a general way throughout the Web site to indicate states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and other U.S.-associated jurisdictions, except where explicitly noted otherwise.
