Oral Health Surveys

​Delta Dental of Illinois covers the smiles of 2 million individuals nationwide, and we know first-hand the importance of oral health and its connection to well-being for both adults and children. For this reason, we recently commissioned the Delta Dental of Illinois Children's Oral Health Survey and Adult's Oral Health and Well-Being Survey in 2018. Working with Kelton, a leading insights firm, we surveyed 150 parents of children ages 12 and under¹ and 305 adults² in Illinois.

We asked Illinoisans to share their opinions and oral health habits regarding their children or themselves. We explored serious and lighthearted topics and summarized the results in two easy-to-read reports to help educate and improve oral health in the state.
