Description
For persons who had at least one dental visit in the past two weeks, DENTEXAM2 reports the number of visits for a dental exam.
This variable was asked as part of the Dental Care supplement. Information on visits for x-rays is available in DENTXRAY. Prior to 1983, information on visits for examinations was combined with visits for x-rays and is available in DENTEXAM. For related variables or more information about this supplement, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus or see DEN2WNO.
