  • Use of dental services and oral hygiene products improved between 2013 and 2019, but inequalities remained.
  • Data from the Brazilian National Health Survey shows rising inequalities in preventive dental care usage among those with lower schooling.
  • The findings indicate a need for policy changes to effectively address oral health disparities in vulnerable populations.
