– The Oral Health Component of the 1999–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a collaborative effort between the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Oral Health (NCCDPHP/DOH), and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The current NHANES is designed as a continuous survey with data released on a 2‐year cycle to represent the civilian, non‐institutionalized population of the US. Oral health data are currently available for 8082 and 9010 persons aged ≥2 years who participated in the 1999–2000 and 2001–2002 NHANES, respectively. This article provides background information on previous national examination surveys with oral health content. It also provides general analytical considerations, oral health content information, and evaluations of data quality in terms of examiner reliability statistics (percent agreements, kappa, and correlation coefficients) for the 1999–2002 NHANES Oral Health Component.
