description Objective: To understand the oral health status of urban and rural residents in China, the Fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey (FNOHES) was conducted in 2015. Materials and methods: Based on the principles of multi-stage, stratified, equal capacity, and random sampling, the subjects included five groups of residents aged 3–5, 12–15, 35–44, 55–64, and 65–74 years in all 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions except Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. The total sample size was 172,425. The survey covered two areas, namely oral health status and knowledge, attitude and oral health behavior. Results: Residents in China had serious caries and poor periodontal condition. The prevalence of caries was above 50% in all age groups, subjects without periodontal disease accounted for <50%, and fewer than 50% of subjects brushed their teeth twice a day. Based on the results of the FNOHES, the following suggestions were proposed for improving the oral health in China in the future: to establish and improve the comprehensive prevention and control system for oral diseases, implement a comprehensive prevention and control strategy for priority groups, strengthen the oral health education for all people to improve oral health literacy, enhance dynamic monitoring to scientifically evaluate oral health status, and coordinate multi-party resources to establish and improve the oral health service security system. Conclusion: The oral health status of Chinese residents and their oral health behavior habits need to be improved. With the support of the administrative departments of the government and unremitting efforts of the oral health staff, all sectors of society must be coordinated to strengthen oral health education for the whole population. Furthermore, comprehensive prevention and control measures must be implemented for priority groups.
