Session Description
Access to oral healthcare and dental treatment-seeking are multifactorial and can change over time due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. CareQuest Institute for Oral Health conducted two nationally representative survey of 5,000 people one year apart in 2021 and 2022 to measure United States adults’ attitudes and experiences with oral health and oral healthcare, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This timeframe provides a unique opportunity to examine factors related to dental utilization and factors that facilitate and hamper access to oral healthcare. In these analyses, we examine patterns and trends in attitudes towards dental care, dental care utilization, and sociodemographic factors that are associated with attitudes and access to care. Panelists will present findings on overall patterns found in the data regarding oral healthcare inequities, dental-seeking behavior in relation to general dental fear and fear of COVID-19 exposure, and respondents’ perceptions of and trust in their oral healthcare providers. Discussion will focus on intrinsic and extrinsic barriers and opportunities to seeking oral healthcare, and the role oral healthcare providers play in facilitating patients’ trust in the oral healthcare system and in healthcare overall.
