Commissioned by Public Health England (PHE), now the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). The survey was designed as a continuation of the long-running adult dental health surveys, carried out in the United Kingdom since 1968. This survey differed from its predecessors in several ways:
- it was carried out using web and paper self-completion questionnaires, rather than by face-to-face interviewing in respondents’ homes
- it was not possible to carry out dental examinations of participants
- the survey covered England only, rather than other nations of the United Kingdom
- the name of the survey was changed to reflect its focus on the health of teeth and mouths
